Shot by photographer Willy Vanderperre, the series features model Daria Strokous as she poses in a casual yet elegant manner atop of a black stool and couch. Fashion Editor Nicoletta Santoro has dressed her in [eccentric ladylike ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) complete with fur coats, skirt suits and kitten heels, but the defining item in this editorial has to be the [oversized pink floral-printed skirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green). Strokous wears her hair sleek and pushed back with a bobby pin. Haute couture doesn't have to mean outright extravagance; this Vogue China March 2013 photo shoot illustrates the beauty of balancing the outrageous with the simple. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Stool-lounging Photography:** Capturing models in relaxed and elegant poses on stools or couches offers a unique perspective in high fashion photography. - **Eccentric Ladylike Ensembles:** Combining eccentric and feminine elements in fashion creates a playful and eye-catching aesthetic. - **Balancing Extravagance with Simplicity:** Finding the balance between outrageous and minimalist elements in fashion showcases a sophisticated and versatile style. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** There is an opportunity for fashion photographers to explore new ways of capturing models by incorporating relaxed and unconventional poses. - **High Fashion:** Designers can create unique and eye-catching pieces by combining eccentric and feminine elements in their collections. - **Fashion Styling:** Fashion stylists can experiment with the juxtaposition of extravagant and minimalist elements to create visually striking outfits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Whimsical High-Fashion Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-vivier-holiday-2025.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Voluptuous Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voluptuous-seating.md)
