Model Milla Jovovich commands a crowd of protestors in what appears to be a [mock demonstration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection), brought to life with brazen signs that read "Torture Is Barbaric" and "Abuse Of Power Comes As No surprise." Though Vogue Italia's political and/or social contentions may be blurred here given the interspersion of relationship advice (the most apparent of which is a sign emblazoned with the phrase "Romantic Love Was Invented To Manipulate Women"), stylist Jacob K stole the show with his timeless ensembles. [Vintage lace gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) with pleats, bows and excessive embroidery allowed Jovovich to stand out amid the chaos that is The Mundane Is To Be Cherished. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Socially Conscious Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create politically and socially charged campaigns. - **Timeless Vintage Style:** Space for designers to incorporate vintage elements into modern fashion to create a standout look. - **Mock Demonstrations:** Potential for organizations to use mock demonstrations as a creative way to make a statement. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can leverage political and social contentions to create impactful campaigns. - **Design:** Designers can incorporate vintage lace gowns, pleats, bows, and excessive embroidery into their collections. - **Activism:** Organizations can employ creative mock demonstrations as a form of peaceful protest and message spreading. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md)
