# Unglamorous Actress Spreads The Nadine Strittmatter Editorial for Soup Showcases a Falling Star By Carly Foy | Published 2011-04-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nadine-strittmatter References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/nadine-strittmatter-steven-lyon-soup-2/) & [soup-magazine](http://www.soup-magazine.com/) For Soup #2, upcoming fashion photographer Steven Lyon has once again shot model Nadine Strittmatter in a sensually gritty spread. Lyon's shoot for Soup was to capture the behind-the-scenes look of an actress; the editorial spread demonstrates a falling star and Strittmatter's poses are perfect for the concept. Nadine Strittmatter is styled in [dark makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity), smudged to add effect to the overall spread. Shooting in a yellow light, Lyon has managed to capture the less glamorous part of the [fast lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knys-fall-2025). Nadine Strittmatter is seen in a drug-like haze and scantily clothed. The Soup #2 editorial spread was shot on the streets and clubs of Cuba. Nadine Strittmatter's gritty makeup was done by Maud Laceppe and her poofy, tatted hair by Romina Menenti. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Redefining Glamour Photography:** There is an opportunity to create a new genre of glamour photography that captures the less polished aspects of the glamorous lifestyle. - **Exploring Drug Culture in Art:** Artists could take inspiration from drug culture to create gritty, emotive pieces that depict the allure and danger of drugs. - **Capturing Fall From Grace:** There is a demand for photography that captures the decline and fall from grace of famous people, serving as both cautionary tales and voyeuristic entertainment. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Photography:** Fashion photographers can explore the new genre of gritty glamour photography to create more authentic and unique editorial spreads. - **Fine Arts:** The art world has an opportunity to embrace the allure and danger of drug culture to create emotive and thought-provoking pieces. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can produce content that captures the rise and fall of famous people, exploring the darker aspects of fame. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Trendy Songstress-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nadine-coyle.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md)
