Oftentimes, fashion editorials seek to prominently showcase the outfits they feature, but the looks in this Hyuna Shin Culture Magazine aim to distinguish themselves by blending in.

Each frame is a [psychedelic mishmash](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated) of background and foreground; the clothing is patterned in such a way so as to resemble the backdrops they are photographed against. Using [monochromatic zig zag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection) and curvy patterns, the models become the perfect wallflowers. This is not to say that they become invisible. In fact, the looks are quite eye-popping.

Looking through the series, one can be forgiven if they get a little bit dizzy. From a distance, it can be difficult to tell where the backdrops end and the outfits begin. It may be a while before such [trompe-l'oeil fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo) catches on, but it most definitely has a certain appeal.
