The Shop Australia 'Playing the Field' editorial revolves around an adorable photoshoot in which model Isabelle S joins the boys for a [game of rugby](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furon-v8-collection). Granted, she is not dressed the part at all. Instead, the editorial encourages women to "tackle party-dressing decisions with sleek, sporty cuts," as written in the magazine. In a way, the blonde beauty can be taken for the fun-loving girlfriend of one of the players.

Lensed by photographer Steven Chee, the Shop Australia 'Playing the Field' editorial was styled by Charlotte Stokes. Concentrating on [curve-hugging numbers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren), the looks are very contemporary with "graphic lines, [bold color-blocking and mesh details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-activewear)," notes Fashion Gone Rogue. The athletic touches does not interfere with the wardrobes sexiness, though.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Sport-inspired Fashion:** Design and style clothing with sporty accents that fuse fashion and athletics.
- **Gender-bending Fashion:** Push boundaries and challenge stereotypes by featuring alternative gender expressions in editorials and advertisements.
- **Editorials Featuring Playful Nostalgia:** Engage audiences with images that evoke a time when we were carefree and devoid of gender norms.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion:** Create sport-inspired clothing that elevates the industry and satisfies the needs of consumers in search of athletic yet fashionable pieces.
- **Publishing:** Engage readers with nostalgic visuals that challenge traditional constructions of gender and reflect innovative artistic vision.
- **Marketing and Advertising:** Employ imagery and messaging that playfully subverts gender norms to create campaigns that resonate with audiences and build brand loyalty.
