Photographer Kwannam Chu captured Butler in black-and-white fashions from Ann Demeulemeester and Julius. The waterfall-laden outdoor setting in 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' in I.T Post really lends to the soft, sensitive vibe of the shoot. **Implications** - Fashion photographers and magazine editors have increasingly used androgynous fashion to illustrate a post-apocalyptic theme or express a dystopian society. These oversized, belted and genderless styles comment on our present and our possible future. In this editorial, a natural setting softens what would otherwise be a depressing photo shoot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 - **Androgynous Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to push gender boundaries and create gender-neutral clothing. - **Post-apocalyptic Fashion:** Fashion photographers and magazines can explore post-apocalyptic themes through clothing and styling. - **Dystopian Fashion:** Fashion can be used to depict a dystopian society and comment on societal issues. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Innovative fashion designers can create new collections that challenge traditional gender norms. - **Fashion Photography:** Photographers can experiment with post-apocalyptic and dystopian themes in their fashion editorials. - **Fashion Magazine Publishing:** Fashion magazines can feature editorial spreads that explore alternative and futuristic fashion concepts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Underwear-Imitating Hybrid Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cut-off-brief-skirt.md) - [Fantastical Hyper-Utility Fashion Liness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-dirty-jobs.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Contemporary Fall-Centric Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latimmier.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Genderless Outerwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sujitha-shivajothi.md)
