Design Scene's 'Under The Skin' editorial highlights [alternative and edgy fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir). Drawing inspiration from both raver and rocker styles, this image series is [sportswear-focused](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/90sinspired-activewear). The shoot features clothing that is both visually striking and comfortable to wear and is a sophisticated take on traditional raver apparel.

While most raver fashion is synonymous with over-the-top details and saturated hues, this editorial's wardrobe is more simplified and [monochromatic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25).

'Under the Skin' is captured by photographer Paolo Guadagnin's lens and is outfitted by wardrobe stylist Irene de Santis. She dresses her muse Melanie Engel in a range of dramatic pieces from labels like Topshop, Jean Colonna and Robert Clergerie among others. Melanie's highlighted hair is courtesy of beauty artist Guja who is also in charge of the model's makeup looks.
