Although inspired by classic pin-up girls like Bettie Page, this photo shoot takes a funky turn when it comes down to the details. Photographer Ben Toms may have stuck to a very traditional backdrop of floral wallpaper and candy-colored home decor when shooting the Meghan Collison Vogue Russia editorial, but the styling is something else entirely. Stylist Kate Shillingford may have stuck to the era's [classic silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-retro-collection), but she has focused on pieces with stunning [jewel embellishments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry) and contemporary textures that add another dimension to the geek-chic look going on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Retro Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate modern materials and textures into classic retro styles. - **Geek-chic Style:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine geek-inspired fashion with luxurious and unconventional embellishments. - **Revival of Classic Silhouettes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Update classic fashion silhouettes with unexpected and contemporary details. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create retro-inspired fashion lines that incorporate modern elements, targeting a niche market. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new fabrics and materials that provide a contemporary twist to retro-inspired fashion designs. - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with unconventional backdrops and settings to showcase retro fashion in a fresh and unexpected way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Nostalgic Fashion-Tech Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-and-android.md) - [Retrospective Chic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection.md) - [Girlhood-Inspired Clothing Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peachy-dens-sweet-cheeks.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Bold Eyewear Collection Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md) - [Accessible Nostalgic Apparel Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-and-den.md)
