# Expressive Tribute Editorials 'You Rock Our World' in Harper's Bazaar Russia for Michael Jackson By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-10-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-jackson-harpers-bazaar-russia References: [awake-smile.blogspot](http://awake-smile.blogspot.com/2009/10/harpers-bazaar-russia-sep-2009.html) & [bazaar.ru](http://www.bazaar.ru/) After Michael Jackson died this June, we saw our fair share of [tribute editorials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aaliyah-barbie), but ‘You Rock Our World’ in Harper’s Bazaar Russia is my favorite by far. This Geoff Barrenger-shot editorial was far more than just replicating the King of Pop’s style, although stylist Natalia Alaverdian did that expertly. This shoot was something a bit more special. Throughout ‘You Rock Our World’ in Harper’s Bazaar, the models mimicked Michael Jackson’s aggression, vulnerability, passion, and reverence. There’s a ton of emotion in these images, and the lighting and backdrop of these images takes the editorial to another level—kind of like where the King of Pop is now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Tribute Editorials in Fashion:** Exploiting the emotional connection to iconic figures through tribute editorials in fashion magazines. - **Emotion-driven Fashion Photography:** Creating impactful fashion photography that evokes emotion through the use of lighting, backdrop, and expression. - **Fashion as a Platform for Reverence:** Using fashion as a means to pay homage and show reverence to influential figures and cultural icons. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Publishing:** Fashion magazines and publications that offer platforms for tribute editorials and emotional fashion photography. - **Fashion Photography:** Photographers and agencies specializing in creating evocative and emotionally charged fashion shoots. - **Fashion Design:** Designers who utilize fashion as a medium for expressing reverence and tribute to cultural idols. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebratory Photo Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-editions.md) - [Iconic Band Apparel Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-2.md) - [Commemorative Skateboarding Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harold-hunter.md) - [Collaborative Designer Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-like-heaven-art-exhibition.md) - [Collectable Singer-Honoring Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/george-michael-coin.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Skateboarding Heritage Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-through-skateboarding.md) - [Bold Graffiti Printed Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stephen-sprouse.md) - [Cult Film-Inspired High Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lion-king-collection.md)
