# Furry Military Hats The 'Louis Vuitton: The Chicest Taboo' Shoot is Full of Soldier-Inspired Style By Katherinev123 | Published 2011-10-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-the-chicest-taboo References: [fashion.telegraph](http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/galleries/TMG8835758/Louis-Vuitton-The-Chicest-Taboo.html) & [louisvuitton_](http://www.louisvuitton.com) Military styling makes a welcome return to fashion this season and the next, and perhaps no couture house does this solder-inspired aesthetic better than Louis Vuitton. The Louis Vuitton: The Chicest Taboo shoot, photographed by James Meakin, features the fashion label's penchant for combining [military looks with elegance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk) and sophisticated femininity. Styled by Charlie Harrington, with fashion assistant Frankie Graddon, the Louis Vuitton: The Chicest Taboo shoot features model 'Aiste,' who dons pretty yet no-nonsense pieces. This includes a sheer crinoline mesh skirt, patent leather strappy boots, a couple of wool jumpers and a military-style shearling hat. Collars seem to be a big accent as well: the shoot shows off a varnished leather collar as well as a gold plated metal version. Carl Reeves and Kevin Murphy completed the hair for the shoot, with makeup by Ashley Ward (and assistant Jo Hamilton), who used [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coco-mademoiselles) makeup and skincare products. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Military Inspired Fashion:** Design new clothing lines with military-inspired accents and adornments for a chic yet powerful statement. - **Shearling Hats:** Create new fashion accessories that incorporate warm and cozy shearling materials. - **Collared Accents:** Incorporate unique and decorative collars into fashion designs for added style. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Explore military-inspired designs using high-end materials and embellishments for luxury fashion brands. - **Beauty and Skincare:** Develop makeup and skincare products lines that complement and enhance a military-inspired fashion aesthetic. - **Textile Production-manufacturing:** Develop the manufacture of shearling materials for use in designing high-quality and well-designed winter clothing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cowboy-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fw-2024.md) - [Alpine Couture Luxe Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lv-ski-2025.md) - [Children-Catered Luxe Festive Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-holiday.md) - [High Fashion Workwear Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-and-timberland.md) - [Silky Camouflage-Design Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisous-empire-collection.md) - [Luxe Tailored Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Street Utility Rugged Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-violet-collection.md) - [Alpine Luxury Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-mens-ski-collection.md)
