The editorial, shot by brilliant photographer Satoru Kikuchi, captures the [timeless look of upscale femininity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity). In the editorial Labanauskaite posed against the beautiful backdrop of an [antiquated mansion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026). The old-fashioned furniture chairs, sofas and bookshelves all serve as props for Labanauskaite to pose with as she channels a classic look of feminine beauty. Stylist Kayo Yoshida dressed Labanauskaite up in mod garments like long poka-dot dresses, Peter Pan collared blouses and geometric-printed mini skirts. The bright jewel tone coloring of the clothes really pops against the sea foam green tones in the setting. With a fresh-face and a messy ponytail Labanauskaite looks like a curious young girl exploring the rooms of someone's old mansion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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's Driving This Trend - **Ruffled Chiffon Shirts:** Opportunity for fashion designers to create modern and sophisticated designs using ruffled chiffon shirts. - **Pleated Mini Skirts:** Potential for clothing retailers to offer pleated mini skirts as a trendy and versatile fashion item. - **Upscale Femininity:** Disruptive opportunity for beauty and cosmetic brands to market products that promote the concept of upscale femininity. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Innovative potential for fashion designers to incorporate ruffled chiffon shirts and pleated mini skirts into their collections. - **Clothing Retail:** Opportunity for clothing retailers to stock and market ruffled chiffon shirts and pleated mini skirts as popular fashion items. - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** Potential for beauty and cosmetic brands to create marketing campaigns centered around the concept of upscale femininity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Vibrant Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorette-springsummer-collection.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Liberating Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md)
