The shoot features exotic ethnic pieces with a dose of elegance and extravagance exuded from the wardrobe's detailing of [sequins, satin and velvet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anamika-khanna-x-hm). Oriental fans, blooming orchids and bamboo umbrellas are the perfect props to match this cultural spread. The spring issue is colorful and striking -- saving us an actual trip to the Far East. The mix of traditional costumes with modern day pieces make for a perfect ensemble. Photographed by Andrew Hobbs and styled by Sally Matthews, Emad dons a luxurious collection by Louis Vuitton. The Tara Emad Harper's Bazaar Arabia editorial may be foreign but it's always welcomed in this country. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ethnic Fashion:** Opportunity for the fashion industry to embrace traditional costumes and incorporate them into modern day pieces. - **Exotic Props:** Opportunity for the props industry to provide culturally inspired items, such as oriental fans, blooming orchids, and bamboo umbrellas. - **Colorful Editorials:** Opportunity for the publishing industry to create visually striking and vibrant spreads that transport readers to different cultures. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunity for high-end fashion brands to create luxurious collections inspired by traditional ethnic clothing. - **Props:** Opportunity for prop suppliers to offer culturally themed props to enhance fashion and editorial shoots. - **Publishing:** Opportunity for fashion magazines to produce editorial content that showcases colorful and cultural fashion spreads. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cross-Cultural Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models.md) - [Lunar New Year Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-new-year-campaign1.md) - [Middle Eastern-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/act-ii-collection.md) - [Cross-Cultural Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rahul-mishra.md) - [Contemporary Ramadan Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trendyol.md) - [Ramadan-Ready Upcycled Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stella-mccartney-6.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Culturally-Inspired Travel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-travel-campaign.md) - [Chinese Motif-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-1.md)
