The result is an updated glam rock look that you'd expect to see the lead singer from your favorite local rock band wearing. The editorial is a combination of muted color as well as black and white images. Model Gryphon O`Shea is styled by Nicola Formichetti. And, the entire shoot was overseen by the fresh creative director of [Saint Laurent Paris](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat), Hedi Slimane. This editorial shows the best of the fashion world. It combines fashion-forward creative thinking with a target consumer with a distinctive style. Just look at that long blond mohawk; I bet it looks awesome spiked up. The Vogue Hommes Japan editorial really hits home for the fashion-conscious rocker. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Androgynous Style:** Fashion industry can capitalize on the growing demand for androgynous fashion by creating more clothing lines that blur gender boundaries. - **Glam Punk Style:** There is an opportunity for clothing companies to create a line of punk-inspired clothing fused with modern glamour to appeal to consumers who want an updated rocker look. - **Black and White Photography:** As monochrome imagery continues to trend, photography companies could create more black and white fashion shoots, especially to appeal to consumers interested in an androgynous or punk style. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry has an opportunity to create clothing lines that cater to consumers interested in androgynous or punk-inspired styles. - **Photography:** Photography businesses can capitalize on the trend of black and white imagery by creating more fashion shoots with monochrome themes. - **Creative Direction:** Creative directors can push the boundaries of conventional fashion by blending androgynous, punk, and glamour styles to create unique looks that appeal to a broad range of consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Singer-Led Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pour-homme-and-neighborhood.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Harajuku-Inspired Slip-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harajuku-punk.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md) - [Fashion-Forward Guitar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gibson-and-marc-jacobs.md)
