# Luxuriously Earthy Fashion The Vogue China 'Second Skin' Editorial Stars Juliane Gruner By Meghan Young | Published 2013-06-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-china-second-skin References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/juliane-gruner-sleek-style-amy-troost-vogue-china-july-2013/) & [vogue.cn](http://www.vogue.com.cn/) Focusing entirely on fur and leather fashion, the title of the Vogue China 'Second Skin' editorial takes on an entirely new meaning. Although it might be morbid to think about the fact that a person is wearing another animal's skin, it is undeniable that the looks are utterly chic. With its earthy, neutral palette, the wardrobe embraces nature while ensuring the pieces exude an urban elegance modern women will appreciate. The Vogue China 'Second Skin' editorial was shot by photographer Amy Troost. Set to appear in the July 2013 issue of the magazine, it stars model Juliane Gruner. The Danish brunette beauty was outfitted by stylist Alastair McKimm, who pulled pieces from the likes of Celine, Belstaff, 3.1 Phillip Lim and Givenchy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-leather Fashion:** Opportunity for sustainable and cruelty-free fashion alternatives. - **Fur-free Fashion:** Opportunity for ethical and socially responsible fashion choices. - **Nature-inspired Color Palettes:** Opportunity for more natural and earthy color choices in fashion design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to embrace sustainable and ethical practices in their designs. - **Animal-free Materials:** Opportunity for companies that offer leather and fur alternatives to grow in the fashion industry. - **Natural Cosmetics:** Opportunity for cosmetic and beauty companies to embrace more natural, earthy, and organic color palettes inspired by nature. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyper-Realistic Faux Fur Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducies-fw25-collection.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Chinese Luxury Brand Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zouxin.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md) - [Vegan Leather Collection Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fw25-vegan-leather.md) - [Reprised Fall Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-reimagines-autumnal-fashion.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md)
