# Space-Age Fashion Photography Futuristic Chic in 2009 Vogue Italia ‘Evolution' By Sandra Winn | Published 2009-01-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futuristic-chic-in-2009-vogue-italia-evolution References: [fashioncopious.typepad](http://fashioncopious.typepad.com/fashioncopious/2009/01/vogue-italia-starting-the-2009-evolution-with-their-january-09-cover-.html) & [style.it](http://www.style.it/cont/vogue/home-vogue.asp) Photographer Steven Meisel brilliantly combined black and white imagery and colorful photos for [Vogue Italia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine)’s ‘Evolution’ 2009 editorial. Meisel captured images of models wearing a variety of [futuristic and cutting-edge fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) that would send Judy Jetson speeding to the ‘Orbit City Mall’ in her dad’s space car. Also included in Vogue Italia’s ‘Evolution’ editorial is fantastic architecture from master architect [Zaha Hadid](http://www.zaha-hadid.com/)--the designs are amazing. Even though I cannot read Italian, I do know that the process of evolution signifies change. I think Vogue Italia did an excellent job at looking at some transitions we have to look forward to in the future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Futuristic Fashion:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry through the integration of futuristic designs and materials. - **Multimedia Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities within the photography industry through the use of both black and white imagery and colorful photos. - **Architectural Visualization:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation within the architecture industry through the use of futuristic designs and imagery. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation through the integration of futuristic designs and materials. - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities within the industry through the use of black and white imagery and colorful photos. - **Architecture:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation through the integration of futuristic designs and imagery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luminous Galactic-Themed Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-couture.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Dynamic Sci-Fi Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Fashion House-Designed Spacesuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axiom-extravehicular-mobility.md) - [Archaeology-Inspired Eco-Friendly Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aelis.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md)
