# Shaggy Collar Fashion The Exit Magazine Bals Editorial Stars the Elegantly Wild Ymre Stiekema By Meghan Young | Published 2011-12-15 | Updated 2011-12-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exit-magazine-bals References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/ymre-stiekema-john-akehurst-exit-fw-2011/) & [exitmagazine](http://exitmagazine.co.uk/) [Furs are everywhere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-aspen) right now to combat the cold winter season, and as the Exit Magazine Bals editorial shows, the looks are wildly elegant. From [shaggy collars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-lucia) to more refined furs, there is a wild nymph quality tempered by the ladylike element in each style. The Exit Magazine Bals photo shoot stars model Ymre Stiekema, who was placed in front of photographer John Akehurst’s lens. The editorial focuses on relatively close-up portrait shots, which gave stylist Sam Ranger a strict border to work within. The luxe pieces from such fashion houses as Emporio Armani, Givenchy and Maison Martin Margiela were slightly tamed by Stiekema's pulled back hair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fur Fashion:** Fur fashion trends are on the rise and offer opportunities for retailers to innovate environmentally-friendly designs. - **Shaggy Collars:** Shaggy collars are a new trend in the fashion industry, offering opportunities for design innovation. - **Nymph-like Fashion:** Nymph-like fashion is trending with wild and elegant styles that offer new opportunities for eco-friendly textiles. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers are capitalizing on the fur fashion trend and can focus on eco-friendly designs with innovative materials. - **Textile Production:** The trend towards nymph-like fashion offers opportunities for eco-friendly textiles to be used in the fashion industry. - **Fashion Photography:** Nymph-like fashion trends and shaggy collar fashion provide opportunities for photographers to experiment with new poses and lighting. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Faux Fur Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducies-fw25-collection.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Luxe Après-Ski Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veronica-beard-apres-ski.md) - [Premium Oversized Collar Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-lucia.md) - [Belted Wool Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-mandy-coat.md) - [Arty Knitwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear.md) - [Bold Urban Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-autumn-winter-2025.md) - [Outdoor-Ready Luxurious Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-3.md)
