After another model was ill, Ali Collier from Vision LA came to the rescue for an exclusive C-Heads editorial shot by Jared Thomas Kocka. The talented behind-the-scenes team was comprised of stylist Roman Sipe and hair and makeup expert Nona Mahmoudi.

The [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-pixel-watch-5) dictionary defines tenacity as "not readily relinquishing a position, principle, or course of action; determined." Judging by the [disgruntled look on her face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revive-your-courage), I can't imagine Collier readily relinquishing anything; she looks stead-fast and strong-willed in these shots. If not actively looking for a fight, she's definitely ready for one (should someone cross her). Collier wears leather snapbacks, mesh jerseys, open-toed combat boot sandals and fingerless gloves that dare you to question her authority.

All in all, despite her blonde hair and diminutive frame, Collier definitely looks like she can stand her ground.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Teenage Models:** Exploring and investing in teenage models for editorial photoshoots can bring a fresh and disruptive perspective to fashion photography.
- **Edgy Styling:** Experimenting with edgy styling that pushes the limits of traditional fashion trends can attract a younger audience and create new opportunities for fashion brands.
- **Female Empowerment:** Fostering female empowerment by featuring models who exude confidence and strength can resonate with audiences and provide a platform for social change in the fashion industry.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion Industry:** Fashion brands can leverage teenage models and edgy styling to create unique editorial campaigns that engage younger audiences.
- **Advertising Industry:** Ad agencies can use powerful and empowering visuals to support inclusive campaigns that break away from narrow beauty standards and resonate with diverse audiences.
- **Photography Industry:** Photographers can explore unconventional styles and subjects to develop their own signature edgy style that sets them apart in a highly competitive industry.
