# Lace Face Editorials The Metal #27 Issues Features a Veiled Varvarova By Jordy E | Published 2012-04-06 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metal-27 References: [zac-fashion](http://zac-fashion.com/lenka-varvarova-axl-jansen-metal-magazine) & [revistametal](http://revistametal.com/) The Metal #27 issue is true to the brand's daring reputation. Always opting in favor of the fashion world's [avant-garde](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2), the spread showcases the towering Lenka Varvarova. And though the model is known for her upbeat demeanor, photographer Axl Jansen has captured her among a notably esoteric set, evincing a mysterious if not haunting mood. The Metal #27 issue features a mostly covered up Varvarova. While some of the photos are on the racy side and do showcase [revealing imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty), Varvarova is for the most part veiled in the series. Whether clad in a [lace mask](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace) or an all-out chiffon blanket, the apparel choices consistently cover up her facial region, providing for a rather mysterious collection. Long flowing gowns and chunky exaggerated shoes are the theme here, and a dazzling theme at that. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Avant-garde Fashion:** Opportunities for innovative and unconventional designs that challenge traditional fashion norms. - **Mysterious Fashion Photography:** Potential for creating intriguing and enigmatic visual narratives through the use of veiled models. - **Exaggerated Shoe Designs:** Room for creating bold and expressive footwear that complements dramatic fashion styles. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Design:** Innovative fashion designers can experiment with avant-garde concepts and create captivating clothing items. - **Photography:** Photographers can explore the use of veiled models in their fashion shoots to create unique narratives and atmospheres. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Shoe manufacturers can develop exaggerated shoe designs that align with dramatic fashion styles and cater to consumers seeking statement footwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Liberating Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Runway-Inspired Peel-Off Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask.md) - [Luxury Statement Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-eyewear-collection.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Concept Eyewear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1.md) - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md)
