This series is full of edgy attitude, which adds an interesting element to it. The model has bangs that just go over her eyes up and she’s rocking bold red lipstick. She radiates this “too cool to care” vibe in these fantastic shots. In one shot the model seems to be walking with a lean, as she sports a [floor length leather get-up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-trenchcoat). This helps to reinforce the idea of leather being cool (which has been a fashion stereotype since the days of The Fonz). In another shot the model has her hood thrown up and seems to be thrusting her pelvis forward. These stylish leather-clad shots remind viewers of how chic [leather apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fw25-vegan-leather) can be. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 42% | 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) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Leather Fashion:** The trend of incorporating leather into fashion apparel continues to gain momentum, leading to opportunities for innovative designs and materials. - **Attitude-centric Fashion Photography:** The trend of fashion photography that emphasizes edgy, rebellious attitudes provides opportunities for incorporating provocative elements into fashion brand marketing campaigns. - **Retro Fashion Stereotypes:** The trend of reviving vintage fashion stereotypes, such as the coolness of leather, creates opportunities for expanding the market appeal of retro-inspired apparel and accessories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** The fashion design industry can leverage the trend of incorporating leather into their products to create innovative and unique designs. - **Fashion Photography:** The fashion photography industry can capitalize on the trend of rebellious, attitude-centric photography to create memorable and engaging campaigns for fashion brands. - **Vintage and Retro Fashion:** The vintage and retro fashion industry can take advantage of the trend of reviving fashion stereotypes, such as leather being cool, to expand their market appeal and reach new customer segments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Versatile Sculptural Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection.md) - [Architectural Leather Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-cassie-sb.md) - [Elevated Leather Blazer Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsaks-kendall.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Studded Belt-Made Dynamic Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit.md) - [Coordinated Leather Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-spring-collection.md) - [Vegan Leather Collection Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fw25-vegan-leather.md)
