This marks the sunglass company's first foray into the world of publishing. The brand needn't worry about being new to the scene, because the task is safe in Borthwick's more-than-capable hands. The finished photo book features sun-drenched, ambrosial analogue photography. Borthwick's signature overexposed style further enhances the highly photogenic Atlantic island of Lanzarote. In fact, the overexposure and subsequent blurring it causes imbues each photo with an ethereal, borderline fantastical element. Those who wish to get a copy of this [limited-edition coffee table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rverie-collection) tome better hurry; there are only 99 copies in rotation. The books come with one of three prints, hand-signed by the photographer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Coffee Table Books:** There is an opportunity for other brands to collaborate with artists or photographers to create limited-edition coffee table books featuring their products or collections. - **Analogue Photography:** Brands can explore the use of analogue photography techniques to create unique and ethereal visuals for their marketing materials or product campaigns. - **Limited-edition Collaborations:** Creating limited-edition collaborations with artists or photographers can generate excitement and exclusivity surrounding a brand's products or collections. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Eyewear:** Eyewear companies can consider collaborating with artists or photographers to create visually captivating coffee table books featuring their latest collections. - **Publishing:** Publishing companies can explore opportunities to work with fashion or lifestyle brands to produce limited-edition coffee table books that showcase their products or collections. - **Photography:** Photography studios or photographers can seek collaborations with brands to create unique marketing materials or visuals using analogue photography techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Bubble-Like Sunglasses Drop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upside-down-sunglasses.md) - [Luxurious Eyewear Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-monster-6.md) - [Bold Artful Summer-Ready Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asociety.md) - [Footwear Brand Heritage Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-of-birkenstock.md) - [Ultra-Stylish Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inaugural-eyewear-collection.md) - [Jewelry-Centric Coffee-Table Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solange-azagurypartridge.md) - [Exclusive Collaborative Eyewear Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thierry-lasry-and-joanna-czech.md)
