# Modern Elizabethan Fashion The Fallen Throne by Denny Tjan is Inspired by the Golden Age By Meghan Young | Published 2013-05-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fallen-throne References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--elizabethan-beauty-from-golden-age-to-dark-era-55120.html) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Denny-Tjan/177741755696727) The Fallen Throne photo series might be inspired by the Elizabethan era, more specifically, the transition point between the Golden Age and the Dark Era, but it succeeds in not relying on all of the cliches that make up such time periods. Although undeniably regal and graceful, the looks are entirely modern, straight down to its interpretation of the [traditional powdered updo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown). Shot by photographer Denny Tjan, The Fallen Throne photo series may revolve around the decay of the empire, but there is still beauty to be found in destruction. In this case, beauty has a name: Marika Marienka. Outfitted by stylist Chrisna Sujatmiko, who also worked on [hair and makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), she strikes a magnificent figure against [ornate backdrops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles). The entire wardrobe, including shoes, were designed by Riana Budiono. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modern Elizabethan Fashion:** The trend of blending traditional aesthetics with modern fashion is creating new fashion statements - **Historical Era-inspired Photo Shoots:** Conceptualizing contemporary photo shoots inspired by past historical eras draws audience attention - **Collaborative Artistic Endeavors:** Collaboration among artists from various fields combining fashion, makeup, and photography create a unique experience ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The modern Elizabethan fashion trend presents opportunities for high fashion designers and niche markets - **Photography:** The trend of conceptualizing historical era-inspired photo shoots presents opportunities for brands and agencies to produce creative content - **Beauty:** Opportunities arise for beauty brands to tap into modernized historical aesthetics for their products and campaigns ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Exquisite AI-Designed Thrones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/throne-design.md) - [Punk History Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md)
