Especially perfect for the [fall season](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection), Matt Feddersen has captured a warm colorway full of reds, oranges and purples. Of course, stylist Rachel Harris is responsible for pulling the lovely berry shades. The cool blue accents that peek through in the occasional image are really refreshing as well. Feddersen seems to have got it really, really right. Overall, Matt Feddersen's photoshoot is soft and feminine, complementing the model's poses and expressions beautifully. **Implications** - [Color-blocking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated) is an example of the the phenomenon of "peacocking." Individuals who do not necessarily have the disposable income to sport statement pieces since the credit crunch are now flocking to flamboyant purchases that allow them to still get noticed. The aesthetic rather than the brand name is now reigning supreme. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 - **Color-blocking Trend:** The color-blocking trend is disrupting the fashion industry as individuals are drawn to bold and attention-grabbing statement pieces. - **Flamboyant Purchases:** Flamboyant purchases are becoming popular among individuals who want to stand out without breaking the bank. - **Aesthetic Over Brand Name:** The focus on aesthetics over brand names is changing the dynamics of the fashion industry, allowing unique and visually striking pieces to gain popularity. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry is undergoing a shift as the color-blocking trend and emphasis on aesthetics present new opportunities for innovation. - **Retail Industry:** The retail industry can capitalize on the flamboyant purchases trend by offering affordable and eye-catching products to cater to customers' desire for attention-grabbing pieces. - **Marketing and Advertising Industry:** The marketing and advertising industry can help brands promote their unique and visually striking products, highlighting the value of aesthetics over brand names. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.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) - [90s Grunge-Inspired Fall Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md)
