# Storytelling Fashion Shoots Tim Walker's Folk Song Inspiration By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-09-27 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-photo-story-tim-walker-inspired-by-little-ditty References: [thomastreuhaft](http://www.thomastreuhaft.com/Tim_Walker/tw.html) When photographer Tim Walker cribbed the opening line from one of my favorite little folk tunes for a [couture fashion shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles), I couldn’t resist. The British Vogue shoot begins with the folk song's opening line: "Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me?" The light and color combine for a [quirky, playful series of photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by). **Implications** - The realms of [fashion and music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pour-homme-and-neighborhood) have always existed hand in hand, with this photo shoot serving as a great example. Since the 1950s, musicians have served as more than minstrels; they are pop cultural icons whose clothing, hairstyles and attitudes are duplicated by many. Thus, the influence music has on fashion, which is a combination that companies looking to hit the youth demographic should inspect. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Leaders](https://www.trendhunter.com/leaders) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fashion-music Synergy:** Exploring the influence of music on fashion as a way to connect with the youth demographic. - **Quirky-playful Photography:** Utilizing light and color to create whimsical and captivating fashion shoots. - **Storytelling in Couture Fashion:** Incorporating narrative elements and folk song inspirations into high-end fashion photography. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can leverage the influence of music to create relatable and aspirational designs for the youth market. - **Photography:** Photographers can explore unique and imaginative approaches to fashion shoots by incorporating storytelling elements and unconventional inspirations. - **Music:** Musicians can collaborate with fashion brands to create synergistic marketing campaigns and influence trends in clothing, hairstyles, and attitudes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md) - [Cowboy-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fw-2024.md) - [Americana-Inspired Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-stories-americana.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [City-Themed Luxury Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-the-city.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md)
