Captured in an exotic location and surrounded by equally [exotic animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-intelligence), model Yana Vilkina holds her own against the awesome sights that would normally eclipse all else. It helps that she interacts with the animals, getting on the back of an elephant and embracing a clutch of chicks. Lensed by photographer Andrey Yakovlev, the Tropicana Unity photo series features [bohemian-like fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) that complement the scenes perfectly. At times, the brunette beauty even strips down to her birthday suit to better accentuate the [nature-inspired photoshoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borntostandout-fall-2024). The Tropicana Unity photo series was art directed by Lili Aleeva, who also did the makeup and hair. She mainly focused on giving Vilkina loose tousled waves and a natural face to make her appear more innocent and wild. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Exotic Animal Fashion:** Opportunity to incorporate exotic animals into fashion photoshoots for a unique and eye-catching aesthetic. - **Bohemian-inspired Fashion:** Embracing a bohemian style in fashion photography to create a natural and organic look. - **Nature-inspired Photoshoots:** Creating photoshoots that take inspiration from nature and incorporate natural elements for a captivating visual narrative. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Photography:** Exploring new approaches to fashion photography by incorporating exotic animals and nature-inspired elements for a distinctive style. - **Fashion and Design:** Incorporating bohemian-inspired elements into fashion design to create unique and trendy collections. - **Art Direction and Makeup:** Exploring innovative ways to apply makeup and hair styling techniques to create a natural and wild appearance in fashion photography. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Elephant-Inspired Charitable Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elephant-family-usa.md) - [Untamed Nature-Inspired Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature.md) - [Adorable Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberrys-holiday-campaign.md) - [Pet-Powered Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-intelligence.md) - [Animal-Inspired Habitat Lip Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endangered-animal-lip-balm.md) - [Provocative Fall Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borntostandout-fall-2024.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md)
