From the beautiful mindset of the team at Grey Magazine to the [whimsical ideology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) of the sisters at mega fashion house Rodarte, the Rodarte by Grey Magazine spread captures a [vintage-esque appeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) to the fashion house's later pieces and modernizes them for today's society. The idea of recreating the aura around old pieces from previous collections makes for a dramatic unveil of a thought-provoking photoshoot.

The dark photoshoot from Rodarte by Grey Magazine displays a vast amount of [romantic clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) in a beaten-down hotel to capture the stunning effect of the Rodarte clothing.
