Leloup dons some [extravagant haute duds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026) from fashion houses such as [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otani), Armani Prive, Gaultier Paris and Atelier Versace, all hand-picked by stylist Tom Van Dorpe. Some stand-out pieces in the shoot was Donatella Versace's glittery bodice, Gaultier's Ziggy Stardust-Infused collection and a luxurious lace confection by Valentino. Her unkempt locks and natural, forest nymphet makeup was the work of Marki Shkreli and Frankie Boyd. The [lush, Scandinavian marsh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature) is probably not the typical environment for wearing couture gowns, but Leloup makes it work. In fact, they look so good they might have you wondering about hosting your next soiree in the middle of an exotic Swedish forest. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Extravagant Haute Couture:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in creating extravagant haute couture pieces inspired by natural elements and environmental themes. - **Nature-inspired Fashion:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in incorporating elements of nature, such as forest nymphet makeup and unkempt locks, into fashion and beauty trends. - **Unconventional Photoshoot Locations:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in conducting fashion photoshoots in unconventional and natural locations, like the Scandinavian marsh featured in this editorial, to create unique visual narratives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Haute Couture:** The haute couture industry can leverage the trend of extravagant designs inspired by natural elements to create unique and environmentally-themed fashion collections. - **Fashion and Beauty:** The fashion and beauty industries can capitalize on the trend of nature-inspired fashion by incorporating forest nymphet makeup and unkempt locks into their product offerings and marketing campaigns. - **Photography and Fashion Media:** The photography and fashion media industries can explore the trend of unconventional photoshoot locations to create visually captivating narratives and stand out from traditional studio-based photography. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [High-End Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-beaut-louis-vuitton-campaign.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md)
