# Victorian Clown Photography The Paco Peregrin 'Spectacular' Editorial is Dark and Dramatic By Meghan Young | Published 2010-11-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paco-peregrin-spectacular References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/PACO-PEREGRIN--SCHAN-MAGAZINE--ISSUE-8/738090) & [pacoperegrin](http://www.pacoperegrin.com/) The Paco Peregrin 'Spectacular' editorial demonstrates exactly why this Spanish photographer is one of my favorites. He is as aware of his strengths as any expert can be, sticking to [similar styles and formulas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color); however, this somehow never compromises his creativity or his art overall. The Paco Peregrin 'Spectacular' editorial proves that he just gets better with time. Part of [Schon Magazine's 8th issue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche), the spread is typically [clownish with a Gothic edge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-clog-pennywise). Dark and dramatic, I could see these costumes on the set of a Shakespearean play. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dark Circus Aesthetics:** Create a line of avant-garde clothes with bold patterns and exaggerated details that reflect dark circus aesthetics. - **Gothic Photography:** Develop a photography exhibit specializing in gothic aesthetics, pairing artists with subject matter that suits their style. - **Theatrical Makeup:** Offer seminars and workshops on exceptional theatrical makeup for different themes such as the circus, gothic, or other eclectic styles. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can create collections inspired by circus and gothic themes, by developing away from the current common designs and experimenting with more daring prints and cuts. - **Photography:** Photography exhibiting has the potential to feature gothic themes, circus, and other similar subjects with many breakthrough artists that currently focus on these styles. - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetics Companies that sell makeup and related products and services could offer specific makeup tutorials and sessions for circus and gothic aesthetics, which emphasize stage makeup and highlight the different types of designs and color palettes that can be used. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Artist-Forward Fashion Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/randy-perez.md) - [Surreal Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery.md) - [Skateboard-Themed Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-hole-1.md) - [Color Photography Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md)
