Photographer Maude Arsenault for Push It Magazine captures girls in [frilly, feathered fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025) for this intriguing editorial. This shoot features Lady Gaga-inspired fashions mixed with a sultry circus theme. The models wear their hair in bows while mixing lace, stripes, feathers and tutus.

Maude Arsenault captures the models in a creative way, managing to focus on beauty while still remaining completely individualistic.

**Implications** - [Circus imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by), or any [whimsical theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-vivier-holiday-2025) for that matter, provides consumers with a childlike feel that's often missing from modern living. Playful and amusing concepts are what attracts consumers because it allows them to be less serious as opposed to styles that can be overwhelmingly fancy and pretentious.
