The Natalie Archer-Katie Kaars editorial is the perfect example of how a shoot that blends elements of uninhibited fun with [subtle sex appeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) can become instantly significant.

Natalie Archer is an Aussie model represented by [Chic Model Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pche-mirage). This collaboration with Katie Kaars is one of Archer's first major opportunities. Katie Kaars is an accomplished Sydney-born, London-based photographer who has amassed an impressive client list over the last seven years, including Esquire, Warner Music, Sony BMG, and Atlantic Records.

In the Natalie Archer-Katie Kaars editorial, Archer is seductive, playful, and alluring. Her gorgeous blonde hair and fresh face are a boon to the camera. My favorite shot in the series features Archer in a bath tub, her foot and arm extended far away from her body, a big, toothy grin on her face. The shot perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the shoot -- wild, free, and sexy.

**Implications** - A company that wants to generate immediate brand awareness would be wise to invest in [overtly sexual advertising](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/o-positiv-health). This draws attention from consumers, critics of the ad's sexual content, and a controversy seeking media. All three are key components in raising your immediate company profile.
