I love its well-executed chiaroscuro lighting and the shadowy sets, but most of all, I marvel at the [religious iconography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luce) displayed by the publication. [Fashion magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-should-i-wear) and religious institutions have always had a very uneasy relationship. For the former, displaying [overtly religious motifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) on their publications increase the potential shock value incrementally and hopefully, they believe, sales will follow suit. As for the latter, well, they can always add to their long list of sins. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Religious Fashion:** The trend of incorporating religious iconography in fashion photography and clothing design offers opportunities for disruptive innovation in marketing and product design. - **Chiaroscuro Lighting:** The trend of chiaroscuro lighting in fashion photography offers opportunities for innovative lighting equipment and techniques that can enhance the visual appeal of product photography. - **Iconography in Print Media:** The trend of using religious iconography in print media presents opportunities for designers and artists to experiment with a wide range of themes and motifs that can capture the imagination of readers and viewers. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** The fashion photography industry can leverage religious iconography and chiaroscuro lighting to create innovative and visually stunning campaigns that capture the attention of consumers and drive sales. - **Fashion Design:** The fashion design industry can incorporate religious iconography into clothing design, offering unique and meaningful clothing collections that appeal to customers looking for more than just fashion. - **Printing and Publishing:** The printing and publishing industry can experiment with different themes and motifs, including religious iconography, to create innovative and visually appealing publications that engage readers and viewers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Luxe Fashion Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otani.md) - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md) - [Naughty Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesels-xxxmas.md) - [Religious Mascot Official Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luce.md) - [Luxe Literary-Inspired Tote Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-book-tote.md) - [Stylish City-Inspired Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Colorful Zodiac Motif Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-x-kaws.md)
