Simply looking at the work of Platonov Pavel, it’s evident that he is not only a [phenomenal photographer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-portraits), but designer as well. I’m assuming, of course, that Platonov Pavel constructed those [creative headdresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-zombie) himself. Dark, moody with more than a hint of [tribal elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/echoes-of-time), it’s no wonder that his portfolio is getting attention. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dark-tribal Fusion:** Opportunities for fashion designers to merge tribal and gothic styles for a stand-out look. - **Multidisciplinary Artistry:** Advances in photography and design open up doors for multi-talented artists to create distinctive pieces. - **Photography Meets Fashion:** Innovative photo shoots that combine fashion and photography to create surreal pieces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** This trend presents an opportunity for the fashion industry to create dark tribal designs. - **Photography:** The trend allows for photography businesses to partner with fashion brands to create unique and innovative photoshoots. - **Design:** This trend provides an avenue for multidisciplinary designers to explore new forms of art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Fashion Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-fashion-sculpture.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Ethereal Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-kovacsy.md) - [Sculptural Beauty Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contour-and-highlight-palettes.md) - [Virtual Craft Fusions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arnardo-collection.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Palaeolithic Art-Inspired Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/echoes-of-time.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md)
