Underwater fashion shoots are definitely a trend. Trendhunter has previously covered a [haute couture shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026) without models. Here, the lovely poses of an aquatic beauty, Marcelina Sowa, are captured with delicately swirling fabric and hair in a way that can't be done on land. The absolutely stunning pictures were taken for a Japanese magazine, Numero Tokyo.

Parisian born, Alix Malka is a highly sought after [fashion photographer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) whose work shows his obsession with colour and his flair for original and sophisticated styles.
