# Sophisticated Punk Photoshoots The Marie Claire Turkey May 2012 Editorial Stars Simone W By Meghan Young | Published 2012-05-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-claire-turkey-may-2012 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/simone-emre-guven-marie-claire-turkey-may-2012/) & [mcdergi](http://www.mcdergi.com/) The Marie Claire Turkey May 2012 editorial plays with two seemingly contradicting styles: the [sophisticate and the punk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms). Melding them together beautifully, this photoshoot shows how a dash of edginess can freshen up a tired old look. More than that, it modernizes the prim and proper style for the contemporary, urban woman. Model Simone W poses in front of Istanbul-based photographer Emre Guven's lens in the Marie Claire Turkey May 2012 editorial. Giving the camera her best [punk attitude](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essie-punk-at-heart-collection), she wanders rather stoically through her penthouse with the Metropolitan Building in New York peaking in the background. The British beauty was outfitted in an [eclectic wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by) by Lauri Eisenberg. The looks were perfected with a faux hawk by hairstylist John Ruidant and smokey eyes by makeup artist Fabiola. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 79% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sophisticated Punk Style:** The fusion of sophisticated and punk styles opens up opportunities for fashion brands to create edgy yet refined looks. - **Modernizing Classic Fashion:** Updating traditional styles for the contemporary woman offers disruptive innovation opportunities for fashion designers. - **Eclectic Wardrobe Styling:** Exploring the combination of diverse fashion elements allows stylists to create unique and captivating looks. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage the sophisticated punk trend to create innovative designs and attract new customers. - **Beauty:** The beauty industry can develop makeup and hairstyling products that complement the edgy yet refined looks of the sophisticated punk style. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with capturing the juxtaposition of sophistication and punk in editorial shoots, creating visually striking imagery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Refreshed Expressive Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheap-monday-relaunch.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Punk-Inspired Parisian Factories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gsl-gallery.md) - [Glam Utilitarian Footwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-x-simone-rocha-collection.md)
