# Summer-Ready Sportswear Editorials Newcomer Monty Fronts This Series by Photographer Joseph Bleu By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-07-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joseph-bleu-photo References: [malemodelscene.net](http://www.malemodelscene.net/photography/joseph-bleu/monty-soul-artist-management/) & [josephbleu.tumblr](http://josephbleu.tumblr.com) Model newcomer Monty at [Soul Artist Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/livms-soul-place-series) in New York stars in this colorful editorial by photographer Joseph Bleu. The model builds his portfolio by posing in a vivid wardrobe of highlighter-hued and printed pieces. Standouts from the shoot include his vividly hued tank tops and [swimwear separates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyler-mcgillivary-3) along with his polarized eyewear accessories that set a youthful tone for summer. This fashion-forward and flamboyant editorial is a fresh translation of a retro Miami aesthetic. Joseph Bleu captures fresh face Monty in a colorful alley that matches his equally bright wardrobe. The muscular model pulls off eye-catching and over-the-top sportswear picks that embody a visually vivid air. Overall, this fashion story is evocative of a [retro Versace aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marty-supreme) thanks to its ability to fuse masculine and feminine details together flawlessly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Youthful Colorful Sportswear:** Opportunity for sportswear companies to produce bright and bold patterns with youthful appeal. - **Retro Miami Aesthetic:** Opportunity for designers and brands to incorporate retro Miami-inspired elements for their summer collections. - **Fusing Masculine and Feminine Details:** Opportunity for designers to create sportswear that combines traditional masculine pieces with feminine details for a fresh and unique look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sportswear:** Opportunity for sportswear companies to create trendy and youthful pieces for summer collections. - **Fashion Photography:** Opportunity for fashion photographers to incorporate retro Miami-inspired elements in photo shoots and editorials. - **Eyewear:** Opportunity for eyewear companies to produce polarized and brightly colored frames for the summer season. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Men's Summer Swimwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vilebrequin-x-joel-mesler.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Versatile Sleek Swimwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandy-del-mar.md) - [Print-Focused Swim Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md) - [Versatile Summer-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marmot-1.md) - [Dreamy Summer Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop.md)
