# Garbage-Lounging Gals Pan Lau's La Belle Photo Series is Romantically Lazy By Meghan Young | Published 2011-06-09 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-belle References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/La-Belle/1022775) & [wix](http://www.wix.com/rbhisan/stylist) The La Belle photo series captures one of my favorite summer activities -- roaming aimlessly and carelessly through city streets on hot, sunny days. The people you meet and the relaxing experiences you can have make those days extra special. Shot by Hong Kong-based fashion photographer Pan Lau, the La Belle photo series also encapsulates a rather romantic feel due to its [hazy quality and muted lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection). Not to mention, of course, that the [style showcased in the photo series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) has an [exotically retro feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry) to it. Stylist Bhisan Rai is to thank for that. The La Belle photo series also features makeup and hair by Gurji and stars the stunning model Silvia of STARZ. Overall, the La Belle photo series will encourage people to embrace those lazy days. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Romantic-lazy Aesthetics:** Explore the potential in creating a product or service that embodies a romantic and lazy aesthetic, appealing to those who want to embrace carefree and leisurely experiences. - **Hazy-muted Photography:** Develop innovative photography techniques or tools that can recreate the hazy quality and muted lighting effect seen in the La Belle photo series, allowing photographers to capture a romantic and nostalgic atmosphere. - **Exotically Retro Fashion:** Tap into the demand for exotically retro fashion styles by designing clothing lines or accessories that offer a unique and nostalgic appeal. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** Innovate the fashion photography industry by integrating hazy-muted lighting techniques and romantic-lazy aesthetics to create visually captivating images. - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** Create makeup and hair products that can achieve the romantic-lazy look showcased in the La Belle photo series, catering to individuals who desire a soft and dreamy appearance. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Revitalize the fashion industry by incorporating exotically retro elements into clothing designs, attracting customers seeking to embrace a nostalgic and unique style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorette-springsummer-collection.md) - [Summer-Inspired Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection.md) - [Nostalgic Luxury Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celines-zhangyuan-popup.md) - [Sun-Soaked Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-hour-getaway-collection.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Beauty-Inspired Guided Tours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loreal-and-the-louvre.md) - [Modern-Day Travel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernday-travel.md)
