Photographed by WATARU, the 'Raven-Black Hair' editorial for HUgE Magazine has model Michael Tintiuc in [all black fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection), showing off some super-shiny, [super-long black hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/witches-delight). Interesting to see all black clothing in a black and white spread. Stark, but cool! **Implications** - Dark and moody clothing and editorial spreads are a breath of fresh air in the summer. Companies can benefit from exploring ideas that are unconventional and unexpected for a certain period of time due to an audience's surprised reaction and attention given to a product. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 60% | 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) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dark Fashion:** Exploring dark and unconventional clothing is a trend in the fashion industry that can disrupt traditional summer collections. - **Moody Editorials:** Creating moody and raven-haired editorial spreads is a trend in the magazine industry that can disrupt traditional bright and cheery designs. - **Black-and-white Photography:** Using black-and-white photography for unconventional spreads is a trend in the photography industry that can disrupt traditional colorful imagery. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can innovate by offering unconventional, dark clothing options and designs for different seasons. - **Magazine:** Magazines can disrupt traditional design patterns by creating moody and unconventional editorial spreads. - **Photography:** Photography companies can innovate by using black-and-white photography in unconventional ways for editorial spreads and campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Black-Colored Lip Tint Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romnd-black-lip.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Expressive Haircare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/play-in-color.md) - [Edgy Accessible Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-black-edit.md) - [Bold Anime-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule-hellsing.md) - [Mystical Hair Dyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/witches-delight.md) - [Moody Seasonal Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-malul-jet-black.md) - [Stealthy Modern Monochromatic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection.md)
