# Gothic Train-Hopping Photography This Model’s Post Apocalyptic Outfit Has a Victorian Touch By Sarah Dos Santos | Published 2013-12-09 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/post-apocalyptic-outfit References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/21/12752987) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/bystrowskiphoto) This train-hopping model is wearing a post apocalyptic outfit comprised of black leather gloves, [laced-up boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stomp-clog), a protective corset and little Victorian era-inspired accessories. Each item, as it stands alone, works as a highlight piece but combined together, they make the model look like a survivor of the apocalypse. This look is becoming more and more popular especially because of crazes like Steampunk that combine Victorian design with [futuristic, world-ending pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) and garments. Her post apocalyptic outfit definitely makes a statement with its [gothic undertones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gothic-revival) -- all black with leather, an eye patch, a choker and a corset. The abandoned railway and rusted train adds a historical feel to the series, but also alludes to a deserted, post apocalyptic time. The photo series — captured by Behance User Bartosz Bytrowski — shows a style that is definitely going to stick around because it encompasses details from the past, present and future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Post Apocalyptic Fashion:** The popularity of post apocalyptic fashion is on the rise due to its ability to combine elements of the past, present, and future. - **Steampunk Culture:** The Steampunk culture, which fuses Victorian-era design with futuristic elements, has inspired the popularity of gothic and post apocalyptic fashion trends. - **Victorian-inspired Accessories:** The trend of incorporating Victorian-inspired accessories into modern fashion is growing, particularly in the post apocalyptic and Steampunk communities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry has the opportunity to more heavily incorporate post apocalyptic, gothic, Steampunk, and Victorian elements into its designs. - **Photography Industry:** Photographers have the opportunity to capture unique and increasingly popular subcultures such as Steampunk and post apocalyptic fashion. - **Cosplay Industry:** The cosplay industry can continue to thrive by including post apocalyptic settings and outfits, gothic themes, and Steampunk-inspired accessories in their creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Steampunk Aesthetic Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-espresso-machine.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md) - [Sustainably-Focused Experimental Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-fashion-collection.md) - [Cowboy-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fw-2024.md) - [Archaeology-Inspired Eco-Friendly Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aelis.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Urban Deconstructed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louther-x-carhartt-wip-fw25.md)
