His portfolio is drenched with [sunlit images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corona-100-years); I am happy just looking at them. Sebastien Zanella's romantic, [vintage-like photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) show that life is in the moment. You can tell that he is particularly fascinated by the [skate/surfer scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swell-diary). He even founded his own magazine, Desillusion, which centers around "Street Culture, Skate, Surfing and pretty much everything that is cool," as Whitezine puts it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vintage Aesthetic:** There is an opportunity to capitalize on the trend of romantic, vintage-like photos and incorporate it into various industries such as fashion, home decor, and advertising. - **Street Culture:** Entrepreneurs can disrupt the traditional fashion and sports industries by incorporating street culture and skate/surfing themes into their designs and marketing campaigns. - **Magazines for Niche Markets:** The success of Desillusion magazine indicates an opportunity for entrepreneurs to create magazines that cater to specific interests and niche markets, providing an alternative to mainstream publications. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The vintage aesthetic and street culture themes can be incorporated into fashion designs, disrupting the traditional fashion industry and appealing to a new, younger audience. - **Home Decor:** Entrepreneurs can offer home decor products that feature romantic, vintage-like photos, appealing to customers who seek a unique and personalized aesthetic for their homes. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Incorporating street culture and skate/surfing themes and imagery into marketing campaigns can disrupt traditional advertising methods and appeal to a younger, more adventurous audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Island-Inspired Summer Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer.md) - [Sun-Soaked Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-hour-getaway-collection.md) - [Artful Summer Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slim-aarons-puzzle-collection.md) - [Enchanting Mediterranean Swim Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-del-sol-collection.md) - [Nostalgic Luxury Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celines-zhangyuan-popup.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Men's Summer Swimwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vilebrequin-x-joel-mesler.md) - [Functionally Weatherproof Photo Gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/long-weekend-1.md) - [Sunset-Sharing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharing-sunset.md)
