Alternating between on-location shots in a cake shop and pinkish studio images, this editorial is as playful and feminine as it is delicious. Shot by New York City-based fashion photographer Amber Gray, the Marie Claire China February 2012 editorial stars models Masha P and Anna I. They were styled by Guillaume Boulez, who complemented the [bakery theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastis-de-belm) with decadent and ladylike [lingerie pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty) from fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton, Prada and Jean Paul Gaultier. The multi-hued updos by hairstylist Yoichi Tomizawa and crazily colorful cosmetics by makeup artist David Tibolla finished each look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pastry-inspired Fashion:** Opportunities to integrate pastry-inspired designs into fashion apparel and accessories. - **Food-themed Photography:** Incorporation of trendy food items as props or themes in fashion photography for increased engagement. - **Pastel Color Palette:** Exploration of the use of pastel colors in fashion and beauty products for a more playful and feminine look. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunities to experiment with pastry-themed designs in lingerie, clothing, and accessories, and style food-themed photo shoots for editorial and commercial purposes. - **Food and Beverage:** Collaboration with fashion brands to produce pastry items for promotional purposes and gain traction on social media. - **Beauty:** Ideas for creating makeup and nail designs inspired by pastel coloring and sweet desserts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Decadent Pink-Themed Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-valentines-day-lineup.md) - [Danish Pastry-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-art-collection.md) - [Savory Luxury Cafe Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annesophie-pic-and-dior.md) - [Pastry-Centric Coffee Table Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marchesi-1824.md) - [Design-Centric Dynamic Artful Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake.md) - [Visually Stimulating Pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathtaking-dessert.md) - [Fashion-Designer Chocolate Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-chocolat-maxime-frederic.md) - [Sophisticated Mid-Autumn Festival Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariebelle-new-york.md) - [Lunar New Year Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-new-year-campaign1.md)
