# Dreary Brick Background Editorials The Grazia Germany #49 Issue Showcases Lustrous Hide Textures By Alexandra Serrano | Published 2012-11-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grazia-germany-49 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/elsa-briesinger-is-lovely-in-leather-for-grazia-germany-49/) & [grazia-magazin.de](http://www.grazia-magazin.de/) The Grazia Germany #49 issue creates an editorial spread of juxtaposition in scenery and style titled 'Black Leather.' Though hide has come to represent an edgy aesthetic, fashion director Nino Cerone softens the lustrous textile to create refreshingly ladylike looks. Each feminine exit is given an extra dose of grace as model Elsa Briesinger wears pieces by Givenchy, Alexander McQueen and Fendi and H&M with romantic ease. The historic streets of South England add picturesque visuals to the photography captured by Tina Luther. Here, the second striking juxtaposition comes into play as archaic scenery hosts such modernistic street style. Grazia Germany #49 provides an ocular feast of opposite attraction with this fashion spread that gives new life to seasonal leather layering styles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 54% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Leather-like Patterns and Textures:** Developing new textile technology to create refined and elegant leather-like patterns and textures. - **Opposite Attraction Fashion:** Creating fashion trends that combine opposite textures and styles to provide a refreshing and unique look. - **Historic Scenery Photography:** Designing high-quality imagery that blends old architectural designs with modern-day fashion photography. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Textile Industry:** Opportunities for innovation in creating new textile materials that can be used in elegant and sophisticated fashion designs. - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunities for fashion designers to create new and unique designs that combine contrasting styles and textures, creating an ideal platform for innovation. - **Photography Industry:** Opportunities for fashion photographers to capture stunning images that blend contrasting architectural designs with modern-day fashion, leading to the development of a new niche in photography. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Refined Leather Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carl-friedrik-4.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Coordinated Leather Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-spring-collection.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Faux Fur Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducies-fw25-collection.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md) - [Refined Quiet Luxury Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-journey.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md)
