# Pixelated Print Editorials The Marie Claire Magazine October 2012 Issue Boasts Boisterous Designs By Alexandra Serrano | Published 2012-09-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-claire-magazine-october-2012 References: [designscene.net](http://www.designscene.net/2012/09/franziska-frank-marie-claire.html) & [marieclaire](http://www.marieclaire.com/) The Marie Claire Magazine October 2012 issue boasts the visually compelling editorial titled 'Sharper Image.' This piece showcases clashing prints, shown in a variety of fall pieces like pantsuits, overcoats and pencil skirts. Despite the overwhelming prominence of print this season, Marie Claire's tastefully kitschy approach makes this editorial feel fresh. Model Franziska Frank gives each look an edge with her stunning features and modern hairstyle by Keith Carpenter. Sharper Image was flawlessly styled by Alison Edmond, who utilized pieces by Prada, Giambattista Valli, Emporio Armani and Philip Treacy. The dynamically hazy aesthetic was captured by photographer Jean Francois Campos. With its forward-thinking approach, this fashion story is a standout in the October 2012 editorial season. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Clashing Prints:** Combining different prints in one outfit is a new trend that can be embraced by fashion designers and clothing brands to create visually compelling collections. - **Tastefully Kitschy:** Kitschy, playful designs are becoming increasingly popular in fashion, offering a new opportunity for clothing brands to create fun and unique pieces. - **Dynamically Hazy Aesthetics:** Experimenting with hazy or blurred aesthetics in fashion photography can create a visually striking and modern look for fashion brands and designers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers and brands can utilize the trend of clashing prints and tastefully kitschy designs in their collections to stand out in a crowded market. - **Fashion Photography:** Fashion photographers can experiment with dynamically hazy aesthetics to add a modern and unique look to their photo shoots, helping them differentiate from the competition. - **Fashion Magazines:** Fashion magazines can embrace these three trends to create standout editorial pieces that resonate with their audience and attract new readers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [90s Grunge-Inspired Fall Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md)
