# Self-Shot Celeb Covers The FADER’s 100th Issue Features a Rihanna at Her Most Sincere By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2015-09-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-faders-100th-issue References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2015/09/28/rihanna-the-faders-100th-issue-cover) & [shop.thefader](http://shop.thefader.com/products/issue-100-drake-rihanna) It's not often that celebrities, when approached to be the [cover model for a publication](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-editions), get to take the photo themselves, but that was exactly the case with The FADER’s 100th Issue that features singer Rihanna. [Photographer Renata Raksha](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio) gave Rihanna complete control for The FADER’s 100th Issue, allowing the shoot to last from dawn till dusk to capture the singer at her absolute most sincerest, relaxed moments. Paired with an essay that looks to get down to the core of who Rihanna is as a person and an artist, The FADER’s 100th Issue cover is raw yet polished, high fashion yet laid back and everywhere in between. Currently available for preorder, The FADER’s 100th Issue will be hitting newsstands soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Self-shot Celeb Covers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the concept of celebrities taking control of their own image and creating a more authentic representation through self-shot covers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Magazine Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop platforms and technologies that empower celebrities to take creative control over the covers of magazines, offering a more intimate and genuine portrayal of themselves. - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create tools and techniques that allow photographers to collaborate with celebrities in capturing their own images, bridging the gap between professional photography and personal expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Music Magazine Cover NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolling-stone.md) - [Film-Centric Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smurfs-collection.md) - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Multifaceted Swimsuit Cover Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-1.md) - [Unretouched Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-reimagine-beauty.md) - [Personalized AI Album Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-album-covers.md) - [Celebrity-Curated Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shenseea.md) - [Jewel-Toned Singer-Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avanti.md)
