The new December 2008 issue of Dazed & Confused magazine shows us that [guys can have fun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters) sleepover parties too, and even play dress up. The ‘Josh & Ash’ editorial, by photographer Brett Lloyd, captures models Ash Stymest and Josh Beech in a [unique and crazy fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam) by Nicola Formichetti, with tons of jewelry and sparkling accessories, including a pimped out gun. What I really like about the editorial is the unique processing of some of the images, like the assembly of various different shots to create a single picture (image 3 in the gallery, for example, is made of at least three different shots). This technique adds an extra playful twist to a shoot that is already fascinating and fun. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Male Slumber Party Fashion:** Opportunities for fashion companies to create new lines of clothing and accessories for men's slumber parties. - **Playful Photography Processing:** Potential for photographers and editors to experiment with playful techniques like image assembly and multiple exposures. - **Male-centric Sleepover Culture:** Opportunities for companies to create and market male-centric sleepover experiences and activities. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend of male slumber parties by creating specific clothing, accessories, and styles. - **Photography:** Photographers and editors can experiment with playful image processing techniques with a focus on male slumber parties as a subject. - **Event Planning:** Companies can create and market male-centric sleepover experiences and activities for an untapped target audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Naughty Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesels-xxxmas.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Valentine’s Day Loungewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boys-lie-x-popup-bagels.md) - [Celebrity-Backed Luxury Menswear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-menswear-campaign.md) - [Girlhood-Inspired Clothing Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peachy-dens-sweet-cheeks.md) - [Luxury Hotel Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ritzcarlton-and-late-checkout.md) - [Golden-Age Hollywood-Inspired Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles.md) - [Camp-Inspired Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-outdoor.md)
