# Elegant Tribal Editorials The 'L'Afrique, C'est Chic' Shoot Stars Katie Fogarty By Meghan Young | Published 2011-11-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l-afrique-c-est-chic References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/katie-fogarty-max-doyle-vogue-australia-december-2011/) & [vogue.au](http://www.vogue.com.au/) The tribal trend has managed to hold fast in the fashion industry, yet the 'L'Afrique, C'est Chic' magazine shoot shows that it has been sorely lacking a fresh take. Instead of embracing its wild, gritty side, this editorial focuses on how these [vibrant patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-spade-and-target) can be used to enhance the [elegant, lady-like looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) that Kate Middleton has brought back into the limelight. Shot by fashion photographer Max Doyle, the L'Afrique, C'est Chic photo spread will be seen in [Vogue Australia's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) December 2011 issue. It stars the poised Katie Fogarty, whose statuesque frame was stunningly styled by fashion editor Naomi Smith. She pulled bold prints and sleek shapes from fashion houses such as Diane von Furstenberg, Emilio Pucci, Burberry Prorsum and Giorgio Armani. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tribal Revival:** Explore innovative ways to bring a fresh take on the tribal trend in the fashion industry. - **Elegant Patterns:** Discover how vibrant patterns can enhance elegant, lady-like looks in fashion. - **Fashion Photography:** Unleash the potential for stunning photography to showcase fashion trends. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the tribal revival trend and incorporate vibrant patterns into elegant looks. - **Photography:** The photography industry can benefit from experimenting with innovative ways to capture fashion trends. - **Magazine:** Magazines can feature fashion editorials that showcase how vibrant patterns can be used to enhance elegant looks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Silky Camouflage-Design Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisous-empire-collection.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Whimsical Home-Centric Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katie-kime.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md)
