Models Gwen Lu and Mona Matsuoka posed for the rather colorful series, a product of the solid red and yellow backdrops that were placed behind the duo. Photographer Harley Weir did an excellent job of contrasting the [bright walls with the apparel pairings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1) of stylist Vanessa Reid. In spite of the [bold nature of the scenes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2), Weir kept the ensembles noticeably dark with [black leather tights, dark floral patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) and a series of subdued 1970s looks. Weir contributed to the unusual motifs present in Pop Front: A New Ghesquiere Girl with up close shots of both Lu and Matsuoka, seen in snapshots of their chins and noses. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 11% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Color-blocked Photography:** Exploring new ways to use bold and contrasting colors as backdrops in fashion photography. - **Dark Apparel and Bright Backgrounds:** Experimenting with solid bright colored backdrops as a contrast to dark clothing in fashion photography. - **Close-up Portraiture:** Creating unique and unusual motifs in fashion photography using close-up shots of models. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore new ways to use bold colors as backdrops and contrast for their clothing in photography. - **Photography:** The photography industry can explore this disruptive innovation by using solid bright backgrounds as a contrasting element in dark clothing photography. - **Advertising:** The advertising industry can focus on this trend of unique and unusual motifs in photography for their brand campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Intergenerational Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gapstudios-fw25.md) - [Bright Color-Based Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1.md) - [Pixelated Runway Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelated.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md)
