Numero Magazine's 'Pink Light District' story is captured by legendary photographer Miles Aldridge and highlights retro style picks that are an homage to the 60s and 70s. This visually striking editorial features Aldridge's familiar filters and is a celebration of color.

Bringing a Nouveau Noir aesthetic to life, this [cinematic editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) boasts [colorful light filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rendezvous-ivory) in neon yellow, blue and pink shades and is styled by Samuel Francois.
