# Menacing Menswear Editorials The Le Fleur Du Mal Photo Series by Michelangelo Cecilia is Macabre By Alexandra Serrano | Published 2013-03-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michelangelo-cecilia References: [malemodelscene.net](http://www.malemodelscene.net/editorial/stefan-liskiewicz-michelangelo-cecilia/) & [michelangelo-cecilia.daportfolio](http://www.michelangelo-cecilia.daportfolio.com/) Photographer Michelangelo Cecilia captures an eerie editorial that takes a fresh approach to male avant-garde fashion aesthetics. Titled 'Le Fleur Du Mal,' a reference to Charles Baudelaire's poetry, the editorial takes a literal approach to the flowers of evil adding a nod to the hedonist eroticism that dominates the French prose. Model Stefan Liskiewicz is fierce as he poses in an aggressive manner that portrays the fashion story's theme. He dons pieces by Giorgio Armani, Dior, Primark and Airoldi Design as styled by Silvia Airoldi. Along with the cutting-edge menswear seen in each frame, there is something to be said for the edgy accessories, such as the skeletal skirt and restraining neck pieces. Michelangelo Cecilia succeeds in creating exciting imagery that leaves an impression with its dark beauty. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Avant-garde Menswear:** Opportunity for designers and brands to push boundaries and create bold and unconventional men's fashion. - **Macabre Aesthetics:** Potential for fashion photographers and stylists to explore darker and more unsettling themes in their creative work. - **Eccentric Accessories:** Space for designers to experiment with unconventional and boundary-pushing accessories that add an edgy and rebellious touch to fashion. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Photography:** Innovative photographers can tap into the demand for dark and eerie fashion editorials that offer a fresh perspective on menswear. - **Fashion Design:** Forward-thinking designers can capitalize on the growing interest in avant-garde menswear by creating unique, daring, and unconventional garments. - **Accessories Design:** Opportunity for accessory designers to create eccentric and macabre pieces that complement avant-garde menswear trends and push the boundaries of traditional accessory design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Contemporary Fall-Centric Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latimmier.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md)
