Photographer Catherine Conroy took her personal [reptilian inspiration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70s-1) and turned it into a full-fledged fashion editorial for The Ones2Watch 'The Chameleon' feature.

Styled by Jordy Huinder, model Dorith Mous (Ulla Models) was anything but static in The Ones2Watch 'The Chameleon.' Mous wore a range of fashion pieces by experimental designers including Acne, Iris Van Herpen, And Beyond, End, Hugo by Hugo Boss and Diesel Black Gold.

**Implications** - Catherine Conroy says that she is "inspired by the [graphic shapes in nature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature) and the chameleon-like traits in us all." The photography also combines art as Mous poses behind [splashed canvases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo). The featured images would make great decor for a funky home or office space.
