# Provocative Summer Pictorials V Magazine's 66th Spring/Summer Sexy Body Issue Heats it Up By Alexander Riley | Published 2010-08-07 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/provocative-pictorial References: [forums.thefashionspot](http://forums.thefashionspot.com/showpost.php?p=7553321&postcount=201) & [vmagazine](http://www.vmagazine.com/) Flirtacious, inviting, sexy -- so many words can be used to describe V Magazine's 66th Spring/Summer Sexy Body issue. Gushing with sex appeal, the provocative pictorial sees an array of models including Samantha Gradoville, Missy Rayder, Julia Stegner, Devon Aoki and Crystal Renn donned in [barely-there ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela). The photographs, taken by Glen Lunchford and Mark Abrahams, elicit sexuality and desire indeed. Do you think the photographs are corny or classy? **Implications** - Personally, I'm a sucker for [fashion shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) that combine disparate looking major supermodels and combines them with editorials that unabashedly trumpet their sex appeal. To me, that's the definition of an 'edgy' photo shoot. It makes the V Magazine Spring/Summer Sexy Body issue a must grab for both men and women. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Provocative Fashion Photography:** Opportunity for fashion photographers to explore provocative, edgy, and sexually charged themes. - **Body Positivity in Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to celebrate all body types in their campaigns, and promote inclusion and diversity. - **Fashion as a Form of Self-expression:** Opportunity for fashion brands to encourage their customers to embrace their individuality through fashion choices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can use provocative fashion photography and body positivity to stand out and attract a wider range of customers. - **Photography:** Photographers can explore provocative and edgy themes in their fashion photography to attract clients who are looking for unique and daring visuals. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketers can use the trend of body positivity in fashion to create more inclusive and diverse campaigns that resonate with a wider audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Naughty Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesels-xxxmas.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Multifaceted Swimsuit Cover Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-1.md) - [Bold Eyewear Collection Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Dreamy Summer Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop.md)
