# Secluded Small-Town Shoots Vlada Roslyakova Stars in an Editorial for Elle US March 2012 By Rebecca Byers | Published 2012-03-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elle-us-march-2012 References: [zac-fashion](http://zac-fashion.com/vlada-roslyakova-laurie-bartley-elle-us-march) & [elle](http://www.elle.com) Russian model Vlada Roslyakova is featured in a [lonely editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026) for the Elle US March 2012 issue that takes place in a series of locations that invite memories of forgotten childhood memories while incorporating [spring fashion trends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025). The melancholic, desolate feel of the shoot is contrasted by the glamour and glitz of the fashion, which is often highly detailed with sequins and cut-outs; much more high-maintenance than the natural, rundown surroundings. The story, titled 'The Seeker,' features Vlada photographed by Laurie Bartley. The shoot was styled by fashion editor Kate Lanphear, who chose to showcase a wicked pair of Miu Miu leather printed boots. The Elle US March 2012 issue features Gossip Girl star Blake Lively on the cover. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Small-town Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to explore the beauty of small towns and create unique fashion shoots that capture memories of forgotten childhood moments. - **Secluded Fashion:** A new trend of contrasting high fashion with natural, rundown surroundings, giving fashion shoots a melancholic, desolate feel. - **Detailed Fashion:** A trend towards highly detailed fashion with sequins and cut-outs presents new opportunities for designers and stylists to innovate and create new pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Photography:** The fashion photography industry can explore new locations and themes while capturing fashion in a unique and memorable way. - **Fashion Design:** Designers can capitalize on highly detailed fashion to create innovative and unique pieces that are both fashionable and memorable. - **Fashion Styling:** Stylists can use the trend of contrasting high fashion with natural surroundings to create memorable and innovative fashion shoots. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Whimsical High-Fashion Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-vivier-holiday-2025.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md)
