Kelly himself. Living the high life, he graces the pages of the Music Issue alongside Russian model Irina Shayk, who shows off her [pole dancing moves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pole-fitness1) as well as a little something more. A combination of brightly colored images and more erotic black and white ones, the photoshoot teases from beginning to end. Shot by photographer Albert Watson, the V Magazine 'Kingdom Come' editorial may take an erotic turn, but that doesn't mean it sacrifices on elegance. It focuses on the latter by showcasing the glamorous spring designs of [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-winter-tale), [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dimensions-eyeshadow-palette), Cosabella and more. Styled by Anna Trevelyan, the looks were perfected with windswept hair and full makeup. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 68% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Stripper-themed Editorials:** Opportunity for fashion magazines and brands to explore provocative and boundary-pushing visuals in their editorials. - **Celebrity Collaborations:** Potential for celebrities to partner with fashion magazines and brands to create unique and attention-grabbing content. - **Elegant Yet Provocative Photography:** Demand for editorial photography that balances sophistication and sensuality, attracting both high fashion and alternative fashion audiences. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Magazines:** Fashion magazines can tap into the demand for controversial and visually captivating editorials. - **Fashion Brands:** Fashion brands can collaborate with celebrities to create edgy and memorable advertising campaigns. - **Photography Studios:** Photography studios can specialize in capturing elegant yet provocative images that cater to a variety of fashion publications and brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nostalgic Winter Intimates Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-holiday-campaign.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Liberating Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova.md) - [Celebrity Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swim-line.md) - [Modern Pole Fitness Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pole-fitness1.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Daring Gymnast Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrill-seeker-mega-lift-mascara.md)
