# Scuba-Inspired Styles The Olivia by Phillip Papadis Series is Sultry and Slick By Meghan Young | Published 2011-08-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivia-by-phillip-papadis References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--Exclusive-rising-from-the-deep-8157.html) & [phillippapadis](http://www.phillippapadis.com) Scuba diving may not be for all of us (especially for those fashionistas who prefer heels to fins), yet that doesn't mean it can't inspire some stylish duds; take these photos of Olivia by Phillip Papadis, for example. Although she clearly would not survive out in the ocean in those outfits, there is nevertheless an adventurous streak that gives each look an appealing edge. Rachel Harris styled these photos of Olivia by Phillip Papadis to great perfection. With [skin-tight garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athleticinspired-clothing), [bold surf wear patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta) and [vibrant sea-inspired colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escape-into-the-blue), the looks are both sporty and sexy. Sultry and slick, hair stylist and makeup artist Mae Taylor even made Olivia look as though she had just emerged from the water, even though she is quite obviously bone-dry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Scuba-inspired Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore the concept of sporty and sexy scuba-inspired clothing lines. - **Sea-inspired Colors:** Brands can incorporate vibrant sea-inspired colors in their product lines, leading in unique design aesthetics. - **Wet Look Styling:** Make-up creators can take inspiration from wet look styling, turning it into a unique and compelling trend. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands, especially those creating activewear, can take inspiration from sporty and sexy scuba-inspired fashion. - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetics brands can create products that cater to the trend of styling that leads to wet, sea-inspired looks. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers and home decor brands can form a new color palette based on the vibrant and lively colors inspired by the sea. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Luxe Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty.md) - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md) - [Island-Inspired Summer Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer.md) - [Stylish Holiday-Ready Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bain-de-minuit.md) - [Resort-Ready Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-oliver.md) - [Versatile Sleek Swimwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandy-del-mar.md) - [Mediterranean-Inspired Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escape-into-the-blue.md) - [Sustainable High-End Swimwear Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aventura-swimwear.md) - [Joyous Spirit-Inspired Holiday Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opa-collection.md)
