Cosmetics expert Emilie [Plume](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veronica-beard-and-petite-plume) chose a host of all-white looks delivered through strips of face paint that stood out via the black backdrop. Photographer Alexandre Felix captured Plume's aggressive looks with dark images that showcased Melchiori's face and apparel. Stylist Malvina B. contributed to Felix's work through the inclusion of button up oxford shirts, billowing sleeves and a fur trim that lined the neck only. In tune with the [futuristic appeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) of this set was its generous use of leather. Caged, ribbed and cut off formations proved that much could be done with the material in this context. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Futuristic Makeup:** The trend of using futuristic makeup techniques, like strips of face paint, creates an opportunity for cosmetic companies to develop innovative products and techniques. - **Dark and Aggressive Photography:** The trend of capturing dark and aggressive images in fashion photography opens up opportunities for photographers and fashion brands to explore edgy and daring concepts. - **Innovative Use of Leather:** The trend of pushing the boundaries of leather in fashion design and styling creates opportunities for designers to create unique and unconventional leather pieces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry can take advantage of the futuristic makeup trend by creating new products and techniques that cater to the demand for innovative and unconventional looks. - **Photography:** Photography professionals can explore the trend of dark and aggressive photography by experimenting with different lighting and composition techniques to capture edgy and visually striking images. - **Fashion Design:** The fashion design industry can embrace the innovative use of leather trend by creating avant-garde and unconventional leather garments that push the boundaries of traditional design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Runway-Inspired Peel-Off Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask.md) - [Vibrant Upscale Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-spring-2025.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Clairvoyance-Inspired High-End Makeup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clairvoyance-makeup.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [High-End Holiday Makeup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-holiday-2025-makeup.md) - [Monochromatic Cosmetic Clinics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmetic-clinic.md) - [High-End Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-beaut-louis-vuitton-campaign.md)
