# Flowery French Aristocrat Editorials The Gene Ginno Alducente 'Flora' Series is Decadent By Josh Triantafilou | Published 2012-06-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gene-ginno-alducente-flora References: [ginnoalducente](http://www.ginnoalducente.com/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Flora/1916117) It's not difficult to understand why [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care) magazine featured this Gene Ginno Alducente 'Flora' series in a recent issue. Its unabashedly [delicate and dainty fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) screams luxury and style. From [powdered wigs to soft, pastel pinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025) the looks are deeply reminiscent of aristocratic women's fashion during the time of Louis XVI. This was when the French aristocracy was at the height of extravagance and decadence, free of the petty economic concerns of the peasants and intoxicated with all-enveloping luxury. Of course, a few years later the French Revolution happened, but that's for history books, not fashion editorials. On his Behance page, Gene Ginno Alducente expresses that he has always dreamed of working for Vogue. Judging by his work featured here, the stylist will continue to do so. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Fashion:** The Gene Ginno Alducente 'Flora' series shows an opportunity for high-end fashion brands to embrace pastel colors and extravagance in upcoming collections. - **Aristocratic Inspiration:** Fashion brands can take inspiration from aristocratic fashion during the time of Louis XVI for future collections. - **Delicate and Dainty Style:** There is an opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate delicate and dainty aesthetics into upcoming collections for a touch of feminine luxury. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can use Gene Ginno Alducente's 'Flora' series as inspiration to create new collections with delicate and dainty styles and luxury fashion. - **Photography:** The photography industry can take advantage of the pastel colors and extravagance featured in the Gene Ginno Alducente 'Flora' series to create similar styles of photography. - **Editorial:** There is an opportunity for editorial teams to embrace the delicate and dainty styles depicted in the Gene Ginno Alducente 'Flora' series and feature similar looks in future publications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floral-Imbued Fashion Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md)
