As a tribute to the late [Alexander McQueen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025), Julius Bramanto photographed the 'Odd and Ends' editorial for Amica Magazine. This epic photo shoot was shot in a garbage dump area that gave an apocalyptic vibe to the entire project.

It is the fashion featured in the 'Odd and Ends' editorial that I can't tear my eyes from, however. These [stunning gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic) are truly monumental in design and memory. Model Katya Talanova beautifully embodies a gritty sense of elegance.
