Stone was styled by Alex White in [tailored suits and dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) inspired by the early sixties, with a bit of daring and raciness thrown into the mix. The editorial was [shot on location](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) at Amanyara in Turks and Caicos. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Retro Fashion:** Opportunity for brands to incorporate retro-inspired designs and styles in their collections, tapping into the nostalgia and timeless appeal of past eras. - **Beach Fashion:** Potential for innovative beachwear brands to create unique and fashionable designs that blend comfort, functionality, and style for modern beachgoers. - **Destination Photoshoots:** Possibility for travel agencies and tourism boards to collaborate with fashion publications and photographers to promote exotic destinations and showcase fashion in breathtaking locations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Retail:** Opportunity for fashion retailers to capitalize on the popularity of retro fashion by curating collections that cater to consumers seeking nostalgic and timeless styles. - **Swimwear Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for swimwear brands to create technologically advanced, sustainable, and fashion-forward beachwear that meets the demands of modern beachgoers. - **Travel and Photography:** Emerging trend for travel agencies and photographers to collaborate with fashion magazines, offering unique destinations and exotic locations for fashion photoshoots, creating mutually beneficial partnerships. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Collaborative Luxe Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty.md) - [Cross-Cultural Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models.md) - [Luxury Statement Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-eyewear-collection.md) - [Star Studded Luxury Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-studded.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Print-Focused Swim Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md)
