The vivid and striking hues include pinks, purples, greens, blues, yellows and oranges. Each model behind the [shrink-wrapped sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-coenen-1) is in pique physical form, making exquisite subjects. You’re able to see every [captivating line, curve and muscle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anatomic-denim) in each model.
