# Flamboyant Sailor Fashions The Upside Down Numero Homme China Photoshoot is Daringly Dressed By Jana Pijak | Published 2013-04-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upside-down-numero-homme-china References: [thefashionisto](http://thefashionisto.com/nicolo-novelli-models-eccentric-styles-for-numero-homme-china/) & [numero-magazine](http://www.numero-magazine.com/) IM Studio face Nicolo Novelli stars in the fearlessly styled 'Upside Down' Numero Homme China editorial. The model channels a retro sailor with a flair for flamboyant fashions. Whether sporting classic sailor attire or opting for a more daring and revealing look, Nicolo poses streetside and dances the night away at a club setting while posing for photographer Qu Yi's lens. Wardrobe stylist Lingjun Li outfits the model in a number of scantily clad pieces from luxury labels that include Bvlgari, Louis Vuitton and [Dior Homme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otani) among others. Gracing the Asian publication's Spring/Summer 2013 edition, the 'Upside Down' Numero Homme China editorial strays from tradition and endorses [daring menswear staples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) that are not for the faint of heart. Whether reviving a cheeky [sailor aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) or starting a pant-less fad, this fashion story embraces the unexpected. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flamboyant Sailor Fashion:** Opportunity for innovative designers to create unique and daring sailor-inspired clothing for men. - **Daring Menswear Staples:** Potential for disruptive brands to introduce bold and unconventional menswear options. - **Scantily Clad Luxury Labels:** Opportunity to redefine luxury fashion by incorporating provocative and revealing designs into high-end clothing collections. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can capitalize on the trend by creating flamboyant sailor-inspired clothing for men. - **Menswear:** Brands in the menswear industry can disrupt the market by introducing daring and unconventional staples. - **Luxury Fashion:** Luxury fashion brands can explore ways to incorporate provocative and revealing designs into their collections, offering customers a unique and daring style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Summer-Ready Utilitarian Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hh118389225-2.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Sailing Race-Inspired Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/americas-cup-barcelona.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md)
