Styled by Natasha Wray, the redheaded Dutch model looks quirky and adorable in polka dot pieces by Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney.

From spreading her arms in one shot in what seems to be a depiction of the [Christian](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-collections) crucifix, to praying in another, the Loren Kemp for The Guardian Weekend photoshoot is sure to stir up some controversy. The minimalist shots are enticing, yet challenging. One thing is for sure: polka dots are not going anywhere anytime soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 24% | 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) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Religious-inspired Fashion:** The use of religious figures and symbols in fashion creates both controversy and attention, which could lead to an opportunity for disruptive innovation in ethical fashion. - **Polka Dot Trend:** As polka dots continue to dominate the fashion industry, there is an opportunity for innovative textile and pattern design solutions to disrupt the market. - **Minimalist Fashion Photography:** The growing trend of minimalist fashion photography provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in photography and styling techniques that showcase fashion in a more creative and unique way. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can benefit from disruptive innovation by exploring ethical fashion practices, innovative textile and pattern design solutions, and new approaches to marketing and brand image through unique fashion photography. - **Textile Design:** Innovative textile design can disrupt the fashion industry by creating new patterns, prints, and textures that enhance the aesthetic appeal and sustainability of fashion products. - **Photography:** The use of minimalist fashion photography provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in photography techniques and styles that capture fashion in a more unique and compelling way, while also exploring new ways to showcase fashion brands and products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Artistic Ready-to-Wear Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-x-yayoi-kusama-collaboration.md) - [Bold Graffiti Printed Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stephen-sprouse.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Brand Staple-Highlighting Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rathbonenewman.md) - [Spring Fashion Blooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md)
