# Space Couture Shoots The Vali Barbulescu 'Eclectic: The Definition of Fashion' Shoot is Hot By Andrew Loh | Published 2012-01-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacey-couture-shoots References: [fashionserved](http://www.fashionserved.com/gallery/ECLECTIC/2326522) & [valibarbulescu.viewbook](http://valibarbulescu.viewbook.com/) Futuristic flair with a vintage touch is evident in the Vali Barbulescu’s fashion-forward shoot titled ‘Eclectic: The Definition of Fashion.' The shoot by the Romanian photographer from Bucharest sees the styling of Alin Galatescu. Not only do the two models sport similar hairdo and makeup, they also don similar clothes, albeit the occasional contrasting colors, making them appear to look like end products of a successful cloning experiment. They are seen rocking latex tops with pointed shoulder pads, unbelievably quirky heels, and a selection of dresses with psychedelic prints, sexy lacework and layered frills, among several others. Accessories of headdress pieces, [steampunk goggles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time), chunky bracelets and finger gloves, as well as striped accents reminiscent of Tron, complete the entire [sleek futuristic look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Futuristic Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating new materials and incorporating high-tech elements into fashion. - **Cloning Experiment Style:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating customizable, replicable fashion designs. - **Vintage Futuristic Fusion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in blending vintage and futuristic elements in fashion design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Innovative design and materials could disrupt the fashion industry, particularly in high-end, couture markets. - **Technology:** Incorporating high-tech elements into fashion creates opportunities for innovation and disruption in the tech industry. - **Art and Design:** The fusion of vintage and futuristic elements in fashion design creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the art and design world. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Luminous Galactic-Themed Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-couture.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md) - [Edgy Backpack-Centric Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Archaeology-Inspired Eco-Friendly Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aelis.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Dynamic Sci-Fi Fashion Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects.md)
