Photographer Yelena Yemchuk captures a ‘Starry Mood’ in Vogue Italia. Aided by model Abbey Lee Kershaw and fashion editor Aleksandra Woronieck, the trio builds an all-white editorial for the Italian publication’s November 2009 issue.
The Australian beauty Lee Kershaw looks elegant in white satin outfits from Ralph Lauren Collection and sparkling silver touches, like a pair of gorgeous stiletto sandals.
Implications - The fashion industry is largely influenced by styles of the past, with certain eras acting as the perfect way to emulate a feeling or tone. Since the 1970s are the era of disco, Abbey Lee Kershaw chose pieces from that time to communicate a feeling of fun and free spirit.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Fashion Nostalgia
- The use of past fashion eras to convey a particular feeling or tone provides an opportunity for designers to reinvent vintage styles and make them modern.
- Monochromatic Editorials
- Creating editorials that feature monochromatic color schemes provides an opportunity for photographers and fashion editors to create impactful imagery that draws all attention to the model and fashion pieces.
- The Disco Revival
- The increasing popularity of disco fashion from the 70s provides an opportunity for designers to incorporate glitter and larger-than-life accessories into their collections.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fashion
- The fashion industry can capitalize on the use of past eras as inspiration for modern fashion pieces and create a new demand for vintage styles.
- Photography
- Creating impactful editorials with monochromatic color schemes can inspire photographers to experiment with different color palettes and techniques.
- Event Planning
- The disco revival trend provides an opportunity for event planners to create immersive experiences that transport guests back to the 70s with glitter, disco balls, and colorful lights.
