# Subtle Asian Editorials Top Model Candice Swanepoel Covers the Latest Femina China Issue By Meghan Young | Published 2016-05-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/femina-china References: [fashiongonerogue](http://www.fashiongonerogue.com/candice-swanepoel-femina-china-2016-photos/) & [femina.cn](http://www.femina.com.cn/) The Femina China May 2016 cover shoot stars Candice Swanepoel. In spite of her blonde hair and vivid blue eyes, the publication decided to embrace its Asian roots by subtly introducing the culture into the photoshoot -- or perhaps not too subtly in some cases. Whether playing with props such as floral fans, chopsticks and more or dressed in silky satins with [exotic accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-lunar-new-year-campaign), it's a fun theme that she embraces beautifully. Shot by photographer Chen Man, the Femina China editorial has [fun fusing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-travel-campaign) [traditional Eastern style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-chinese-new-years) and Western inspired looks. By doing so, it inspires its audience to have fun with their own wardrobes. It's incredible to think that the svelte beauty is pregnant during this photoshoot -- hopefully she has a craving for Chinese food! It makes it all the better. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## 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 - **Cultural Fusion Fashion:** Exploring the melding of Eastern and Western fashion influences, creating opportunities for cross-cultural collaborations and innovative style combinations. - **Asian-inspired Props:** Utilizing traditional Asian props in photo shoots and fashion editorials, offering new creative avenues for incorporating cultural elements into visual storytelling. - **Celebrity Maternity Fashion:** Highlighting pregnant celebrities in fashion editorials, presenting opportunities for brands to create stylish and empowering maternity clothing options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Apparel:** Fashion brands can explore the fusion of Eastern and Western design elements and collaborate with Asian artists and designers to create unique collections. - **Photography and Creative:** Photographers and creative teams can experiment with incorporating cultural props and themes into their work, offering clients fresh and visually engaging concepts. - **Maternity and Baby Products:** Fashion brands and retailers can create fashionable and comfortable clothing options for pregnant women, catering to the growing demand for stylish maternity wear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lunar New Year Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-new-year-campaign1.md) - [All-Asian Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maybelline-face-the-difference.md) - [Multifaceted Swimsuit Cover Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-1.md) - [Empowering Woman-Inspired Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-lovely-to-be-a-woman.md) - [Cross-Cultural Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models.md) - [Empowering Cosmetics Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-new-year-2024.md) - [Chinese Tradition-Celebrating Accessory Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-chinese-new-years.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md)
