Kass takes on the appeal of the 1960s here, a decision that was adamantly enforced by stylist Saebom Kwak. Kwak channeled the historic decade with [checkered two piece suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit), micro minis and billowing flair pants. These ensembles, which were for the most part sultry, were also met with more practical looks. This was seen in Kass' below the knee skirts, [womanly dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) and dark floor-length gowns. Kwak has in this way managed to get at two motifs in one via the production that was delivered to Harper's Bazaar Korea through the lens of photographer Choi Yong Bin. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro Fashion:** Opportunity for brands to capitalize on the growing demand for vintage-inspired clothing. - **1960s Fashion:** Chance for designers to create collections that pay homage to the iconic styles of the 1960s. - **Creative Styling:** Potential for stylists to experiment with mixing retro and modern elements to create unique and fashion-forward looks. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can tap into the market for retro fashion and create collections inspired by the 1960s. - **Photography:** Photographers can explore the aesthetic of the 1960s and create visually stunning imagery. - **Publishing:** Fashion magazines and publications can feature more retro-inspired editorials to cater to the nostalgia-seeking audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nostalgic Winter Intimates Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-holiday-campaign.md) - [Model-Collaborative Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cara-loves-karl.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Retrospective Chic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection.md) - [Vibrant Seoul-Inspired Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horsebit.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md)
