Titled 'How Real It Feels,' the editorial explores the [existential crisis of the human condition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-echoes). Levin explains that Holmquist is a vehicle for him to articulate his complex questions of existence, saying, "what better way [is there] to express myself than take some of my thoughts and project them onto a beautiful girl[?]” The images are captioned with short pieces of text that express potent sentiments in just a few words. A shot of Holmquist looking morose in the bathtub is accompanied by the word "f*ck," for example, while another melancholy shot reads, "sometimes I think if we don't talk about it, it'll just go away." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Existential Crisis Exploration:** Opportunity to create thought-provoking content that delves into the human condition and existential questions. - **Visual Storytelling Through Emotions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to convey potent sentiments using images and concise text captions. - **Artistic Expression in Fashion Photography:** Chance to use fashion photography as a medium for personal expression and conveying complex thoughts. ### Where This Applies - **Publishing:** Publishers can explore creating content that resonates with audiences seeking introspection and philosophical exploration. - **Advertising:** Opportunity for advertisers to use visual storytelling and emotive content to connect with consumers on a deeper level. - **Fashion:** Fashion industry professionals can leverage artistic expression in photography to create innovative and captivating campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [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) - [Concept-Driven Retail Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miya-ando-x-saint-laurent.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Art-Inspired Streetwear Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-echoes.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md)
