Maud Maillard captures 'Under Pressure,' a candid editorial that is lensed for style website The Ones 2 Watch. The urban shoot features model Paul Lemaire who channels a rocker in the spontaneous image series.

Paul is outfitted by stylist Kristin Hofman and dons hair and makeup looks by Shuhei Nishimura and Junko Komada. Hair stylist Nishimura adds a pale pink tint to the model's platinum blonde coif and brings his street youth-inspired look to life.

The Ones 2 Watch 'Under Pressure' feature references [street style fads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louther-x-carhartt-wip-fw25) and is an homage to the season's [nostalgic and effortlessly cool casuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25). The feature highlights fashions from both designer labels and vintage retailers. They include [Marc Jacobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam), Y-Project and Hippy Market Vintage to name a few.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Street Style Nostalgia:** The fusion of vintage fashion and urban style creates disruptive innovation opportunities for designers and retailers.
- **Edgy Hair and Makeup:** Incorporating bold and unconventional hairstyles and makeup into fashion shoots can appeal to younger audiences and create opportunities for hairstylists and makeup artists.
- **Spontaneous Imagery:** Embracing candid and unposed photography in fashion editorials can create a more relatable and authentic image for brands and models.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion:** Designers and retailers can take advantage of the trend towards vintage-inspired streetwear to create new products and marketing strategies.
- **Beauty:** Collaborating with fashion brands and photographers to create bold and unconventional hair and makeup looks can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for hairstylists and makeup artists.
- **Photography:** Experimenting with candid and spontaneous imagery in fashion editorials can create new opportunities for photographers and help differentiate their work from more traditional poses and settings.
