# Romantic Seaside Editorials The Vogue Australia 'Two if by Sea' Editorial is Endlessly Passionate By | Published 2013-07-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romantic-seaside References: [coupde.foudre.co](http://coupde.foudre.co/2013/07/two-if-by-sea.html) & [search.vogue.au](http://search.vogue.com.au/?q=two) The latest editorial for [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club) Australia, aptly titled 'Two if by Sea,' places a young, amorous couple at a [romantic seaside](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection) that beautifully juxtaposes the duo's [luxurious formal wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection). Instead of shooting this formally dressed couple in a ballroom, or an aristocratic drawing room, photographer Will Davidson chose instead to capture them cuddling amid a broken-down old sailboat near a cloudy, gray sea. The resulting photography gives this editorial the feeling as if the couple had eloped, running away from everyone they know in order to be alone. By giving 'Two if by Sea' a simple, romantic backstory, Vogue Australia has made the editorial a hundred times more interesting, since the emotions represented throughout the photo shoot are both relatable and absorbing, causing romantics everywhere to stop and flip through these photos, perhaps recalling similar experiences at similar seasides. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Romantic Seaside Photography:** There's an opportunity to explore creative ways to capture romantic moments beyond traditional settings. - **Relatable Emotional Photography:** Creating an authentic connection with the audience by capturing raw emotions and relatable experiences in photography. - **Luxury Formal Wear for Non-traditional Settings:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to showcase luxury formal wear in unique settings beyond typical ballrooms or aristocratic drawing rooms. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Exploring new and unique ways to showcase high-end fashion photography beyond traditional settings. - **Wedding Photography:** Capturing romantic moments that tell a unique love story in non-traditional settings and styles. - **Travel and Tourism:** Promoting romantic seaside destinations and unique experiences that evoke emotions, drawing a connection with potential travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Island-Inspired Summer Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [High-End Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwood-bridal-couture.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md)
