# Couture Still Life Photography The Collecteur is a Collection of Fashionable Still Lifes By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-09-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-collecteur References: [honestlywtf](http://honestlywtf.com/art/the-collecteur/) & [collect.gs](http://collect.gs/) The Collecteur is a blog created and curated by photographer Guilia Scalese. This project began as a [visual diary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collected); a method for Scalese to document and celebrate her favorite garments and accessories. Now, the Collecteur is described, quite accurately, as "still life with personality." Each image (which is cataloged by Scalese, in case you're curious about the origin of the items featured) has such charisma, charm and magnetism, that it looks as though they might spring to life at any given moment. If you're looking for [inspiration for outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection), art or even [home decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-common-thread), these impeccably put-together images will do the trick! At the very least, the vibrant colors and careful arrangement create a composition that you won't soon forget. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 49% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Still Life Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to capture and showcase fashion garments and accessories through creative still life photography techniques. - **Visual Diary Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative ways to document and celebrate personal style and fashion choices through visual diary photography. - **Impeccable Composition:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Find novel ways to arrange and present fashion items in a visually appealing and memorable manner. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce new techniques and approaches in capturing and interpreting fashion through photography. - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Use the concept of still life photography to inspire and inform the design process of fashion garments and accessories. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of still life photography aesthetics into home decor, creating unique and visually stunning interior design concepts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Minimal Stone Wall Motifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couture-collection-2.md) - [International Jewelry-Focused Digital Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeweler-collective.md) - [Vibrant Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lorette-springsummer-collection.md) - [Luxury Resort Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteurs-resort-2025-collection.md)
