This stunning shoot combines surreal light trails with onyx and stone-colored fashions. I'm for it. My favorite image from 'Space Odyssey' by Alexandra Zaharova & Ilya Plotnikov is the second one, in which the model wears what looks like old-school aviator goggles. Which is your favorite? **Implications** - The ten different shots are all similar, yet manage to look different from one another. It looks like the models are in an area where the Northern Lights are shining brightly in the sky. The featured fashions are super dark and include [floor-length dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) and wild boots. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 15% | 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 - **Surreal Fashion Photography:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate surreal elements into their photography, creating unique and captivating visuals. - **Avant-garde Fashion:** Innovative designers can explore unconventional and boundary-pushing fashion styles to create avant-garde collections that stand out in the industry. - **Light Trails in Photography:** Photographers can experiment with light trails to add a dreamy and ethereal quality to their images, offering a new perspective in visual storytelling. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can embrace the avant-garde trend, pushing boundaries and offering unique designs that cater to bold and adventurous fashion enthusiasts. - **Photography:** Photography studios and professionals can explore surreal and innovative techniques, such as incorporating light trails, to create visually stunning and captivating images for various industries. - **Art:** Artists and galleries can showcase and promote avant-garde fashion photography as a form of art, blurring the lines between fashion and artistic expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Dynamic Sci-Fi Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Archaeology-Inspired Eco-Friendly Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aelis.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [AI-Inspired Fantastical Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastical-bridal-collection.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md)
