It seems the fashion world can’t wait to get all wet this spring season. We’ve been seeing more and more [fashion editorials and ad campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam) that went with the wet and aquatic theme.

The latest is this Spring/Summer 2009 [Jean’s Paul Gaultier ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jean-paul-gaultier-x-crocs), which opted for indoors wetness rather than going to the beach or pool.

The ad promotes the new Jean’s Paul Gaultier accessories and [jeans collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torrid-jeans-for-life) with model Alana Zimmer drenched in water with another model in a bathtub.
