# Stylish Nurse Shoots The Nimue Smit W Korea Editorial Prescribes Retro Fashion By Meghan Young | Published 2012-02-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nimue-smit-w-korea References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/nimue-smit-philip-riches-w-korea/) & [style.co.kr](http://www.style.co.kr/) The Nimue Smit W Korea editorial features a healthy amount of stylish ensembles. It encourages healing through fashion, with a specific prescription of crisp collar accessories, sheer lacy frocks and a [pristine white palette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25). Shot in an [abandoned hospital building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palo-verde-aesthetic), the photo shoot has an eerie cinematic aesthetic that is retro and artistic. The tailoring of each outfit and the beauty looks work together to reflect a 1940s era. Lensed by United Kingdom-based fashion photographer Philip Riches, the Nimue Smit W Korea editorial is very glamorous despite its sterile environment. Stylist Woo Lee has selected a range of [delicate, feminine spring pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025) that hug the figure, which almost negate the hospital theme of the shoot. The Nimue Smit W Korea editorial boast hair and makeup by Hester Wernert and Pernell Kusmus. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Healing Fashion:** The trend of using fashion as a means of healing and promoting well-being, seen in the Nimue Smit W Korea editorial with its prescription of crisp collar accessories and sheer lacy frocks. - **Retro Aesthetic:** The trend of incorporating retro and vintage aesthetics into fashion editorials, as demonstrated by the 1940s-inspired looks in the Nimue Smit W Korea editorial. - **Abandoned Location Shoots:** The trend of utilizing abandoned or unconventional locations as settings for fashion photography, showcased by the eerie and cinematic abandoned hospital building in the Nimue Smit W Korea editorial. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the concept of healing fashion and collaborate with healthcare professionals to design garments that promote well-being. - **Photography:** Photographers can leverage the retro aesthetic trend and experiment with shooting in unconventional locations to create unique and visually striking images. - **Beauty:** Beauty professionals can draw inspiration from the 1940s beauty looks in the Nimue Smit W Korea editorial and create modern interpretations with a vintage twist. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Nostalgic Winter Intimates Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-holiday-campaign.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Healthcare Coat Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenir-1.md)
