# Model Homage Spreads The T Magazine 'Retrofitted' Editorial Stars Laetitia Casta as Bardot By Tiana Reid | Published 2010-08-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t-magazine-retrofitted References: [nytimes](http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/08/22/t-magazine/22well-fifty.html) & [managementartists](http://www.managementartists.com/#/b/portfolio/photographers/willy_vanderperre/) Model Laetitia Casta struts her stuff in the T Magazine 'Retrofitted' editorial, an homage to Brigitte Bardot's fashion sense and overall aura. Shot by Willy Vanderperre, the photographs range from masculine to playful and even naughty -- but they all maintain that [vixen-like gaze and pout](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity) that Bardot was known for. Styled by Anne Christensen, Casta wears designers including Prada, Stella McCartney, [Dolce & Gabbana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), Valentino, [Louis Vuitton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-beaut-louis-vuitton-campaign) and Nina Ricci. **Implications** - This shoot is instant classic. Not only is Laetitia Casta one of the world's top supermodels, but her ability to pay homage to Brigitte Bardot with such aplomb and accuracy is almost unsettling. Credit should be given to Willy Vanderperre for making the shoot seem natural and not entirely derivative. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 72% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Model Homage:** There is a trend of models paying homage to iconic fashion figures like Brigitte Bardot, creating opportunities to capture a sense of nostalgia while adding a modern twist to the fashion industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can embrace this trend by incorporating elements of iconic fashion figures in their designs and marketing campaigns, offering a unique blend of past and present styles. - **Photography:** For photographers, there is an opportunity to recreate iconic fashion shoots and capture the essence of famous models from the past, revitalizing their legacy for a new generation. - **Magazine Publishing:** Magazine publishers can capitalize on the model homage trend by creating editorial spreads that celebrate the influence of iconic fashion figures, attracting readers who appreciate nostalgic fashion and timeless beauty. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Archive-Inspired Retro Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-collection.md) - [Fashion Legend Barbie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claudia-schiffer-barbie.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Modern-Day Travel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernday-travel.md)
