According to the designer, the inspiration for the collection came from a trip on the [Orient Express](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orient-express-1). Such an inspiration should conjure up images of immense vintage glamour and the occasional murder mystery. Low-cut and high-waisted designs are an unfaltering theme in this Ulyana Sergeenko Spring 2014 Couture collection. Body-conscious corsets are mixed with long skirts or slim pants to make a perfectly tailored and consistently cohesive collection. To continue with the theme, the models' hair was styled to look like they were attendants on the legendary locomotive; pulled back and slightly wavy hair was given little round Asian-inspired hats. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Historical Train-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity to create a line of vintage-inspired fashion using elements of traditional train travel for a unique twist. - **High-waisted Designs:** Opportunity to create a line of high-waisted fashion inspired by Ulyana Sergeenko's cohesive collection. - **Body-conscious Corsets:** Opportunity to create a bold line of fashion with waist-hugging corsets that evoke vintage glamour. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Innovative fashion trends inspired by traditional train travel could disrupt the industry. - **Luxury Fashion:** Designers could cater to affluent customers with high-end luxury fashion collections using inspiration from the Ulyana Sergeenko Spring 2014 Couture line. - **Travel:** Opportunity to create an elevated travel experience using elements of vintage glamour and traditional train travel as inspiration. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Chinese Luxury Brand Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zouxin.md) - [Stylish City-Inspired Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection.md)
