The fashions are bold and so are the actions, as the model puts up a fight throughout this series. In one photo, the model stands with a [flowing red skirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) draped out at her sides. There is a vast rocky setting behind her; the sky shows no clouds and no movement. Everything is completely still as the model holds her sword in both hands, pointed down at the ground. The model also has dark black hair with bangs and a serious expression on her face. As the series continues on, the model wears [large glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xena-glasses) with a black veil around her head, starring at the camera with a quirky expression. The girl with swords is intense and dynamic, as every pose shows balance and precision. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Photographic Editorial Trends:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating unconventional and edgy fashion editorials that showcase bold concepts and unconventional poses. - **Power Play Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing fashion that combines strength and femininity, incorporating elements such as swords and unconventional poses. - **Dynamic Fashion Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in capturing fashion with intense and dynamic poses, using props and unconventional settings to create visually striking images. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion photography industry by pushing boundaries and embracing unconventional concepts and poses. - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion design industry by incorporating elements of strength, power, and unconventional props into clothing designs. - **Fashion Magazines:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in fashion magazines by featuring unconventional and edgy fashion editorials that capture attention and push creative boundaries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Specialized Knife Campaiggns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musashi-japan.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Slender Sculptural Glasses Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xena-glasses.md)
