# Seaside Normcore Editorials Stephanie Joy Field Stars in this Sophisticated WSJ Magazine Feature By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-06-24 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stephanie-joy-field References: [designscene.net](http://www.designscene.net/2014/06/stephanie-joy-field-wsj-magazine.html) & [designscene.net](http://www.designscene.net) Stephanie Joy Field stars in this beach-side editorial for WSJ Magazine's latest issue. The model is captured by photographer Daniel Riera's lens for the 'Easy Breezy' fashion story that graces the publication's July/August 2014 issue. Embracing modern minimalism, the 'Easy Breezy' image series for WSJ Magazine features styling by Vanessa Traina who dresses her model muse in [monochromatic and ambiguous pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25). The elegant ensembles range from dresses to layered separates that evoke the essence of normcore, fashion's latest movement that rejects clothing with a loud and eye-catching statement. Instead normcore is all about minimalism and is a nod to 90s nostalgia. Instead of focusing on ornamentation and eye-catching prints, Stephanie Joy Field's latest feature highlights simplistic pieces that marry aesthetics with functionality. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modern Minimalism:** The 'Easy Breezy' fashion story embraces modern minimalism, offering opportunities for minimalist fashion brands to disrupt the market. - **Normcore Movement:** The editorial highlights the normcore movement, presenting an opportunity for fashion brands to cater to the growing demand for minimalistic and functional clothing. - **90s Nostalgia:** Stephanie Joy Field's feature taps into the 90s nostalgia trend, creating an opportunity for brands to reintroduce and reimagine past fashion styles and aesthetics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage the 'Easy Breezy' editorial's focus on modern minimalism and normcore to create disruptive fashion lines and marketing strategies. - **Photography:** The 'Easy Breezy' editorial presents an opportunity for photographers to explore and capture the essence of modern minimalism and normcore in their work. - **Publishing:** WSJ Magazine's 'Easy Breezy' editorial showcases the potential for publishers to create content and features that cater to the growing interest in minimalistic and nostalgia-driven fashion trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Model-Off-Duty Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modeloffduty-essentials.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md) - [Print-Focused Swim Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta.md) - [Sun-Soaked Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-hour-getaway-collection.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md)
