# Darkly Glimmering Fashion The Madame Germany 'Gold & Schwarz' Editorial Stars Nyok Wesslius By Meghan Young | Published 2012-10-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madame-germany-gold-schwarz References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/honer-akrawi-lenses-baroque-punk-madame-germany/) & [madame.de](http://www.madame.de/themen/mode/modetrend2-1112.html) The Madame Germany 'Gold & Schwarz' editorial showcases one of the best color palettes for the fall season: gold and black. Dark like the waning sunlight and warm like the autumn leaves, there is a mystery and romance in each look that can only be complemented by this particular season. Set to appear in the November 2012 issue of the magazine, the Madame Germany 'Gold & Schwarz' editorial stars model Nyok Wesslius. Shot in studio by Honer Akrawi, a photographer based in Stockholm, Sweden, the Dutch beauty balances between [ornate and rocker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection) in a wardrobe put together by stylist Hanni Pontani. A razor-sharp hairdo by Linda Shalabi and [coral eyeshadow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rouge-noir) by makeup artist Linda Gradin completes the edgy looks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dark Glamour:** Opportunity for fashion brands to explore a darker aesthetic, using black and gold as key colors for the upcoming seasons. - **Mystery and Romance:** Opportunity for beauty brands to explore makeup looks that evoke a sense of mystery and romance, such as deep, bold eye shadows paired with soft, warm hues. - **Ornate Rocker:** Opportunity for accessories brands to create pieces that combine ornate elements, such as embroidery and beading, with edgy rocker-inspired designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can utilize the black and gold color palette to create new collections for the fall season. - **Beauty:** Beauty brands can create makeup looks inspired by the edgy, dark aesthetic showcased in the editorial. - **Accessories:** Accessories brands can explore mixing ornate and edgy design elements to create new pieces that merge the two styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [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) - [Noir-Inspired Luxury Cosmetic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rouge-noir.md) - [90s Grunge-Inspired Fall Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Sun-Soaked Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-hour-getaway-collection.md)
