Kuki de Salvertes is the stylist behind this frenetic shoot, which uses strategically-placed [plastic wrap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-coenen-1) over its models to add drama and visual impact. **Implications** - The Metal Magazine photoshoot has a creepy vibe, but manages to look so graceful at the same time. One of the models even has a large knife sitting atop of his perfect hairdo. The clothing that the models wear is mainly dark with random pops of bright colors such as red and orange. They also wear [over-sized jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesel-3) around their necks to add an unexpected pop of shine to their outfits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Avant-garde Menswear:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in creating unconventional and impactful designs for men's fashion. - **Strategic Plastic Wrap:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in incorporating unique materials and textures into fashion photography and styling. - **Layered Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in designing and styling layered accessories to create visual interest and contrast in fashion. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in experimenting with unconventional props and materials to create visually captivating fashion editorials. - **Men's Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in pushing the boundaries of traditional menswear through avant-garde designs and unexpected visual elements. - **Jewelry Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in creating oversized and bold jewelry pieces that make a statement and add a unique touch to fashion ensembles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.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) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md)
