# Daringly Ripped Editorials The Nouveau Magazine 'Torn' Photoshoot Reveals a Lot of Skin By Meghan Young | Published 2013-02-08 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nouveau-magazine-torn References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Torn/7021751) & [atreidex](http://www.atreidex.com) The Nouveau Magazine 'Torn' editorial reveals skin in a daringly original way. Instead of cladding the model in overtly sexy ensembles, the images orchestrate a [seductive element](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) by layering two separate photoshoots. The black and white photoshoot features the model fully clothed in [elegant and sophisticated outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) while the colored photoshoot was conducted in the nude. Mimicking the same poses, the Nouveau Magazine 'Torn' editorial is strategically ripped to show off sections of the model's [nude body](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela). Shot by Alex Lim, a photographer based in Seattle, Washington, the Nouveau Magazine 'Torn' editorial is quite arresting, and not just because it shows a lot of skin. The concept is creative and visually stimulating, which both men and women will appreciate. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Layered Photoshoots:** Opportunity for photographers or fashion brands to create visually creative content by layering multiple photoshoots. - **Strategic Ripping:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create daring and unique designs by incorporating strategic ripping techniques. - **Black and White + Color Contrast:** Opportunity for photographers or graphic designers to utilize contrast between black and white imagery and color imagery. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Photography:** Opportunity for fashion photographers to experiment with new visual concepts and techniques. - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate strategic ripping techniques into their designs. - **Graphic Design:** Opportunity for graphic designers to play with the contrast between black and white imagery and color imagery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Provocative Fall Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borntostandout-fall-2024.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md)
