The chic shoot has a retro feel to it, utilizing silhouetted spring looks and featuring must-have items of the season like Prada's race car pumps. Doutzen Kroes was captured by the lens of fashion photographer Vincent van de Wijngaard for the 'America' shoot, which showcases an Americana theme with lots of red, white and blue. Doutzen was styled by fashion editor Anna Schiffel, who selected pieces by designers like Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Celine and Miu Miu for Interview Germany. Interview Germany is a new international branch of the publication, having launched in February of 2012 featuring Lana Del Ray on the cover. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Bleak Urban Landscape:** Explore new fashion editorials that embrace desolate urban settings, creating a juxtaposition between high fashion and a gritty environment. - **Retro Silhouettes:** Discover fashion shoots that incorporate vintage-inspired silhouettes and bring a nostalgic feel to contemporary styles. - **Americana Theme:** Spotlight editorials that celebrate American culture, using red, white, and blue elements to create a patriotic aesthetic. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can capitalize on the trend of shooting editorials in bleak urban landscapes to create marketing campaigns that appeal to a younger, edgier demographic. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with capturing fashion shoots using retro silhouettes, offering a unique perspective that stands out in the industry. - **Publishing:** Publishers can tap into the Americana theme trend by launching new editorial branches that focus on celebrating American culture and style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Modern-Day Travel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernday-travel.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Cheerful Spring-Ready Collaborative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diane-von-furstenberg-1.md) - [Effortless Urban Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knys-fall-2025.md) - [Couture Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-2024-campaign.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md)
