# Models Wearing Raw Meat Clayton Cubitt's ‘Raw Flesh' Series Will Shock Vegans By Cowbag | Published 2009-03-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raw-meat-fashion-models-who-are-fit-as-a-butchers-dog References: [eatmedaily](http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009/03/raw-flesh-photo-series-by-clayton-cubit-food-art/) & [claytoncubitt](http://www.claytoncubitt.com/) Clayton Cubitt has done a photographic series featuring photos of [models wearing meat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porridge-dress). The meat applied to each model’s skin makes me think of one of Hannibal Lecter’s victims. The “Raw Flesh” photo series by Clayton Cubitt was part of a cover feature for a 2008 issue of Zink Magazine. Gory, yet brilliant. **Implications** - The use of such [shocking, politically controversial pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mwcurated) such as this Raw Flesh series will place a publication or website in a certain light. Though some will not appreciate the display of such images, others will revere the site or magazine as [avant garde and rebellious](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks). Others in the media industry would be wise to learn from this example. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Controversial Photography:** There exists a trend towards creating controversial photographs which can stir up emotions and reactions in viewers. - **Avant Garde Publications:** Publications or websites that produce controversial content can attract a niche audience, positioning themselves as avant-garde and rebellious. - **Shock Advertising:** Brands may utilize controversial or shocking images to attract attention and generate buzz for their products or services. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Media:** Media companies can explore creating controversial content to attract a niche audience and stand out in a crowded market. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands could utilize controversial content to challenge societal norms and promote their products in a unique way. - **Advertising:** Advertising agencies can experiment with shock advertising and create unexpected campaigns to grab consumers' attention and generate buzz. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Halloween Steakhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-cannibal-steakhouse.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Hybrid Meat Vegetable Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leyu-li.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Bone-In Vegan Ribs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-plant-based-ribs.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md)
