# Chic Military-Inspired Ensembles Gary Pepper's Assembly Photoshoot Showcases a Feminine Style By Sarah Robson | Published 2012-05-09 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gary-pepper-military References: [fellt](http://fellt.com/garypepper/2012/04/assembly) & [jyslakay.blogspot.au](http://jyslakay.blogspot.com.au) Gary Pepper's 'Assembly' photoshoot shows Nicole Warne, a Japanese chameleon and fashionista, wearing a Juliette Horgan silk shirt dress, Jolie and Deen coat, Jeffrey Campbell heels, vintage quilted purse, and a Michael Kors watch. [Military fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk) is nothing new in the fashion world, but this outfit is [very feminine with military accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) as shown in the jacket. Nicole Warne takes on the persona of Gary Pepper, a Japanese celebrity, who is friendly, unique, confident, and has a glass being 'half full' mentality. As Nicole Warne states on her website, she feels the most confident when she is fully clothed rather than showing some skin. Jysla Kay, a young 19-year-old, is the photographer based in Sydney, Australia. Some of her photos have been blasted across websites such as Tumblr and Flickr. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 48% | 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) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Feminine Military Fashion:** Opportunity to create military-inspired clothing that is tailored to women, combining elegant and powerful aesthetics. - **Influencer Fashion Photography:** Opportunity to collaborate with young photographers to create visually striking fashion images that resonate with online audiences. - **Confident Modest Fashion:** Opportunity to design fashionable outfits that prioritize modesty and provide a sense of confidence without revealing too much skin. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop unique military-inspired clothing lines specifically designed for women. - **Photography:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Partner with emerging photographers to create edgy and captivating fashion photography that stands out in the digital landscape. - **Modest Fashion:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Redefine modest fashion by combining elegant and stylish designs that embrace a sense of confidence and individuality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [Artful Camo Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Contemporary Military Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk.md) - [Spring-Ready Militaristic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpha-industries-2.md)
