This series is the product of an inquiry proposed by the brand [UGG](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chopova-lowena) and Paulette magazine. These two companies wanted photographers to present a series of images that reflected today's [relationships between mothers and daughters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25). The mini miss series features young girls dressed up in runway-ready gowns, over-enhanced makeup and excessively large hair. Isabelle Chapuis photographed these young girls to emphasize the impact of sexualization among youth in today's society. The images present a unique look at how young girls are being introduced to suggestive styles from a young age. The series, titled 'Féminin Singulier' will be exhibited at the Bettina gallery on September 8th to November 5th, 2015. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Hyper-sexualization of Youth:** Opportunity for brands to create awareness campaigns and products that challenge and combat the hyper-sexualization of young girls. - **Impact of Media on Youth:** Possibility for media outlets and content creators to reevaluate and adjust their portrayal of young girls to promote healthier and more positive images. - **Parent-child Relationships:** Potential for companies to develop products and services that foster healthy communication and relationships between mothers and daughters, in contrast to the negative influences seen in society. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for fashion brands to create inclusive and age-appropriate clothing lines for young girls, challenging the hyper-sexualized norms. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity for marketing agencies to collaborate with brands and create impactful campaigns that raise awareness and promote positive body image among young girls. - **Education:** Potential for educational institutions to incorporate lessons and programs that teach young girls about media literacy and critical thinking skills to navigate the hyper-sexualized culture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Oversized Designer Kidswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacquemus-mini-me.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Functional Mini Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-it-mini-makeup.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Intergenerational Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Miniature Baby Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniverse-make-it-mini-real-baby.md) - [Age-Appropriate Skincare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thefaceof10.md)
