Inspired by the '60s, the [retro looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformations-second-swim-drop) are fit for the elegant bombshell. Whether dressed in [actual swimsuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-swim-collection) or simply lounging about in a sexy dress, the looks will turn heads instantly. Shot by photographer Shxpir, the U+ Magazine 'La Dolce Vita' editorial was captured on location in Sydney, Australia. It stars new face Liah Cecchellero, who appears in the latest issue of the Chinese publication. The brunette beauty was outfitted by stylist Katrina Sheiles, who pulled pieces from the likes of [Burberry Prorsum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/london-commute), Prada and more. Natasha Severino and Luke Nicholson were on beauty duty. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Retro Beachwear:** Opportunity to create modern, stylish swimwear inspired by retro 60s looks. - **Glamorous Fashion:** Potential for innovative designs that combine sophistication and sexiness. - **Editorial Photography:** Innovative approaches to capturing the beauty of fashion in editorial photo shoots. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can tap into the retro beachwear trend to create new collections. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with creative concepts for fashion editorial shoots. - **Beauty:** Beauty industry can explore new makeup and hairstyling trends inspired by retro glamor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Enchanting Mediterranean Swim Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-del-sol-collection.md) - [Collaborative Luxe Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-degreas-x-sabine-getty.md) - [Italian Summer Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soeur.md) - [Island-Inspired Summer Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer.md) - [Mediterranean-Inspired Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escape-into-the-blue.md) - [Sun-Soaked Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-hour-getaway-collection.md) - [Dreamy Summer Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop.md) - [Stylish Holiday-Ready Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bain-de-minuit.md) - [Versatile Sleek Swimwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandy-del-mar.md)
