The editorial, titled 'New Magic,' stars Canadian model Brenda Mutoni. Her striking poses and almost religious reverence complement the quiet [elegance of each dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow), while her tall frame supports each large and artfully designed hairstyle with grace. Singer's designs are awe-inspiring. His red, strapless ball gown pops from the editorial's pages, falling softly towards the ground with a paper-like quality. His leather bodice has a futuristic feel, and goes perfectly with Mutoni's cylindrical hairstyle, complemented by dainty flowers scattered throughout her coif. This editorial demonstrates that old ideas can be modernized with a few strokes of creativity. These dresses are just as elegant as formalwear has ever been, but by adding a little [futuristic flair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) here and there -- such as a leather bodice -- and pairing them with some wild and crazy hairstyles, these ensembles become intriguingly new; they're unlike anything that anyone has seen before. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Decadent Formalwear:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by combining traditional elegance with futuristic elements, such as leather bodices. - **Sculpted Hairstyles:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the beauty industry by creating avant-garde hairstyles that complement and enhance formalwear. - **Modernizing Old Ideas:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the creative industry by reimagining and refreshing traditional concepts with a futuristic twist. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore new ways to incorporate futuristic elements into formalwear, creating unique and captivating garments. - **Beauty:** Hairstylists can experiment with avant-garde hairstyles that push the boundaries of traditional beauty, complementing and elevating formal attire. - **Creative:** Creative professionals can find innovative ways to modernize and reimagine traditional concepts, infusing them with a futuristic aesthetic and creating something completely new. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Intricate Bridal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Hotel-Inspired Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-st-regis-chicago-x-atelier-mira-couture.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md)
