# Makeup-Covered Male Models Robert Binda Narcissus Hero Portrays Exciting Attire By Gil Cohen | Published 2012-11-09 | Updated 2012-11-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-binda-narcissus-hero References: [designscene.net](http://www.designscene.net/2012/11/matthias-swidnicki-robert-binda.html) & [facebook](http://www.facebook.com/robert.binda.photography) Featuring male model Matthias Świdnicki, the Robert Binda Narcissus Hero photoshoot infuses menswear with [sex appeal and humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters). There are plenty tongue-in-cheek moments going on in this photoshoot as photographer Robert Binda gets his model to pose in various states of dress. Exciting pieces such as spiky fringed leather gloves, teal pants, blazers with bright pink lining and [studded backpack straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit) almost pale in comparison to Matthias Świdnicki's attractive figure and his cheeky poses. The model pulls off an intense [smokey eye and berry lipstick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maczine) look while not wearing any pants as he gives us a naughty raised eyebrow. There are also several shots of him topless, showing off his rock hard abs. The Robert Binda Narcissus Hero editorial was shot exclusively for Design Scene. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Gender-bending Fashion:** The use of makeup and provocative styling on male models challenges traditional gender norms in the fashion industry, providing an opportunity for disruptive innovation in inclusive fashion. - **Humorous Menswear:** The incorporation of humor into menswear styling adds a playful element to traditional fashion, creating space for disruptive innovation in men's clothing design. - **Male Body Positivity:** The celebration of male beauty ideals beyond traditional standards opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the representation and portrayal of male bodies in the fashion industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Retailers can embrace gender-neutral and humorous fashion trends to attract a wider customer base and drive sales, transforming the traditional fashion industry. - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** Cosmetics brands can explore new market segments by offering makeup products and tutorials specifically tailored for male consumers, revolutionizing the beauty industry. - **Photography and Media:** Photographers and media outlets can challenge societal norms by showcasing diverse and inclusive representations of male bodies, disrupting traditional standards of male beauty in the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Made-for-Men Makeup Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nunorm.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Star-Studded Men's Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boss-bottled-beyond.md) - [Comprehensive Men's Makeup Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-makeup-kit.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Redefined Masculinity Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md)
