You know, something Commodore Norrington from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ would wear if he were a woman in the present day. ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ references aside, ‘Escale’ in Numero Magazine is a study in how to [mix bright colors and patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit) beautifully. Horst Diekgerdes photographs Monika Jagaciak in [luxurious separates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit) from Miu Miu, Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel. The shoot was styled by Samuel François. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Contemporary Captain Fashion:** The combination of historical fashion with modern styles and bold colors and patterns can create a new trend for those who want to make a statement. - **Luxurious Separates:** Wearing high-end separates from different designers can allow individuals to mix and match their fashion and create new looks with luxury pieces. - **Bold Color and Pattern Mixing:** Mixing bright colors and patterns can create unique fashion statements that stand out and set trends. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion designers and retailers can take inspiration from the mixing of historical fashion with modern bold styles and colors and create new trends and lines of clothing. - **Luxury Fashion:** Luxury fashion brands can benefit from promoting their separates and the versatility that comes with mixing and matching high-end pieces from different designers. - **Art and Photography:** Artists and photographers can take inspiration from the bold combinations of colors and patterns in the shoot 'Escale' in Numero Magazine to incorporate into their work and create new art trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Sailing Race-Inspired Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/americas-cup-barcelona.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md)
