The punchy pictorial features the gorgeous model and actress Amber Anderson decked in [graphic patterns and vivid colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama) that deeply absorb the observer's eye. A riot of 1960s attitude is exuded in the face, the fashion and the striking abstract set, enhanced by the bold Peggy Moffitt bob and the loud [polka-dot and striped motifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit). Intense blues, greens, reds and oranges seldom take on such strong saturation this, and each image makes you feel as though you're in it too. Playing a spirited model against flamboyant furnishings has bred such dramatic results, making the title of Hypnosis Optica by Benjamin Kanarek an accurate description of the visual experience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro Revival:** Opportunities to revitalize retro fashion with vibrant colors and graphic patterns can attract a new customer base. - **Bold Color Saturation:** Incorporating intense colors and bold saturation can create visually striking images and products. - **Abstract Set Design:** Exploring abstract set design can create unique and eye-catching visuals that enhance the overall aesthetic of a project. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Industry:** Designers and brands can consider incorporating retro fashion elements with bold colors and graphic patterns to attract a new customer base. - **Photography and Film Industry:** Photographers and filmmakers can experiment with bold color saturation and abstract set design to create visually striking and unique projects. - **Interior Design Industry:** Interior designers can draw inspiration from retro fashion and graphic patterns to create bold and unique design concepts for their clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Marble-Patterned Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-interior.md) - [Chic Statement Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-eyewear.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [Fashion House Checkered Vinyls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-vinyl-record.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md)
