Based in Paris, France, the artist creates a monochromatic series of [fashionable captures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign). The portraits not only highlight avant-garde styling but also infuse fashion with macabre visual themes. These portraits feature glowing bursts of light that are reminiscent of glitter or sparkled flecks. In addition to its fashions and [sparkling photo filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits), this Nadia Wicker image series also highlights layered photo manipulations that are visually dark and disturbing. Gorgeous model portraits are manipulated with macabre skull motifs while solid garments are superimposed with images of faces that appear ghostly and disturbing. Playing with transparency, this artist's works are as visually striking as they are haunting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Glitter-infused Imagery:** Incorporating glitter elements into digital imagery for a visually stunning effect. - **Layered Photo Manipulations:** Using multiple images and blending techniques to create unique and disturbing visuals. - **Fashion Meets Macabre:** Combining fashion photography with dark and eerie visual themes for a unique aesthetic. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Photography:** Incorporating dark and unique visual themes into fashion photography for a fresh and intriguing look. - **Digital Art:** Exploring innovative techniques for photo manipulation to create stunning and haunting imagery. - **Graphic Design:** Incorporating transparency and layering effects into design work for a multidimensional and unique visual style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Playful Sculptural Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterglow-1.md) - [Glittery Powder Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starcrossed-dreams.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Runway-Inspired Peel-Off Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Sparkling Water Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sara-shakeel.md) - [Virtual Craft Fusions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arnardo-collection.md)
