# Lighthearted Gilded Editorials The Vogue Mexico 'Venus De Metal' Photoshoot is Playful By Jordy E | Published 2012-05-31 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venus-de-metal References: [mean-and-proud.livejournal](http://mean-and-proud.livejournal.com/577016.html) & [vogue.mx](http://www.vogue.mx/) The [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) Mexico June 2012 'Venus de Metal' photoshoot opts for bizarre and notably lighthearted motifs. The former Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova assumed the atypical set quite well, displaying her ability to master nearly any production. Photographer Nagi Sakai orchestrated a series of playful snapshots in the Venus de Metal Vogue Mexico editorial. The pictures feature Kurkova holding a cut up photo of herself to her face as she put on a shocked gaze. In another image, Kurkova is found laughing in a pair of studded Louboutin heels. And if these freeze frames weren't enough to drive home the jovial theme, the execution of a vivacious color-blocked set was done by way of red on teal scheme. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## 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 - **Playful Editorials:** There is an opportunity for fashion magazines and brands to create lighthearted and playful editorials that deviate from the traditional serious tone. - **Bizarre Motifs:** Designers can incorporate bizarre and unconventional themes into their collections and campaigns to create a unique and memorable brand image. - **Color-blocked Sets:** Event planners and interior designers can utilize color-blocked sets to create vibrant and visually striking spaces for various occasions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Magazines:** Fashion magazines can explore creating more playful and lighthearted editorials to engage their audience and stand out in a crowded market. - **Fashion Brands:** Fashion brands can experiment with unconventional and bizarre motifs in their collections and campaigns to attract attention and differentiate themselves from competitors. - **Event Planning:** Event planning companies can adopt color-blocking techniques to create visually appealing and dynamic event spaces that leave a lasting impression on attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical High-Fashion Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-vivier-holiday-2025.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Model-Collaborative Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cara-loves-karl.md) - [Bold Eyewear Collection Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club.md) - [Statement-Making High-Jewelry Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtuosity-high-jewelry.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md)
