These shots are very androgynous, and the male in this series finds himself [draped in flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-of-yves-saint-laurent) and makeup while wearing clothes that are at times masculine and feminine. His hair has even been tied up into a ponytail, which is more commonly associated with women. The model featured in this series has a pair of white lilies pinned to his attire in a few of these shots. In one photo, he's sitting in a chair. He's sporting shorts and a sweater and he crosses his legs while he sits. He's also wearing a tie in this shot, but not properly. In a few shots he sports small dabs of [purple eye shadow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1) in the corners or his eyes, which draws attention and becomes the focal point in those pictures. These shots are charming, and play around with [androgynous style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sujitha-shivajothi) in a fashionable way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Androgynous Fashion:** Opportunity for brands to create and market gender-fluid clothing and accessories. - **Gender-bending Beauty:** Disruptive innovation potential for cosmetics companies to develop inclusive and diverse makeup lines. - **Floral Fashion:** Emerging trend of incorporating flowers in clothing and accessories, providing opportunities for designer collaborations and unique product offerings. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore and embrace the concept of androgynous fashion, breaking traditional gender norms. - **Beauty:** Beauty industry can tap into the growing demand for gender-inclusive beauty products and marketing campaigns. - **Floral:** Flower industry can collaborate with fashion brands and designers to create unique floral-inspired clothing and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Gendered Concept-Exploring Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-casa-dentro.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Warped Dynamic New-Gen Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vern-morph-and-form.md) - [Concept Eyewear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md)
