# Floral Fan Mohawks 'Tropicalia' by Leninbak for Atypica Magazine is Fruitastic By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-12-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropicalia-by-leninbak References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/TROPICALIA/356555) & [leninbak](http://www.leninbak.com/eng/tropicalia.htm) I'm digging this photography-and-illustration editorial 'Tropicalia' by Leninbäk for Atypica Magazine. It's a high-octane shoot that combines [fruit, flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-grounds) and a half-nude model named Nicolás Visús. Yes, please. My favorite shot of 'Tropicalia' by Leninbäk, however, is the first one, in which Nicolás Visús (x2) is wearing a flowered fan as a Mohawk. **Implications** - Leninbäk was in charge of creating the idea and concept of the photoshoot, the art direction and paintings and the [t-shirt illustration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nepenthes-capsule). They also created a video to go along with the shoot. Leninbäk proves that it is a mulit-talented company that brings [fashion and art together](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation) in a unique and visually pleasing way. It is amazing that this is only Leninbäk's second production! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 13% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fashion Art Fusion:** The combination of fashion and art in 'Tropicalia' by Leninbak showcases the potential for disruptive innovation in merging these two industries. - **Conceptual Photography:** The visually stunning photography in 'Tropicalia' by Leninbak demonstrates the potential for disrupting traditional photography by incorporating unique concepts and themes. - **Creative Editorial Direction:** Leninbak's innovative approach to the editorial direction in 'Tropicalia' highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in creating unique and captivating narratives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by collaborating with artists and photographers to create visually striking and conceptually rich designs. - **Art:** The art industry can disrupt traditional art forms by incorporating fashion elements and concepts to create visually captivating and boundary-pushing artworks. - **Photography:** The photography industry can embrace disruptive innovation by exploring unique concepts and themes, like those showcased in 'Tropicalia' by Leninbak, to create visually stunning and memorable images. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artistic Floral Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ohana-hatake.md) - [Floral-Inspired Sculptural Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-power.md) - [Art-Infused Workwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nepenthes-capsule.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Brazilian Craft-Inspired Handmade Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vero-25.md) - [Flora-Inspired Body Autonomy Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-bush-summer.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Oversized Colorful Dynamic Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tfm.md)
