With a concentration on shots from below, the photoshoot has an epic element. Not to mention that model Steffi Soede is given a more powerful stance that in turn heightens the look of each outfit. Shot by photographer Greg Kadel, the Vogue Italia April 2013 editorial is captured against a backdrop of cement industrialism and serene blue skies. This setting accentuates the patterns present throughout. In addition to stripes, stylist Enrica Ponzellini pulls checks and polka-dots from the likes of [Marc Jacobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam), Christopher Kane and Marni, all of which are on point for the spring season. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **High-contrast Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop advanced image processing software that automatically enhances and intensifies the contrast in photographs. - **Striped Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create a line of clothing that incorporates dynamic and visually stunning striped patterns, using advanced weaving techniques or innovative printing methods. - **Epic Photoshoots:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop a virtual reality platform that allows users to experience and immerse themselves in epic, larger-than-life photoshoots from various fashion magazines. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Integrate high-contrast photography techniques with artificial intelligence technology to create a new era of fashion photography that delivers striking and impactful images. - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Explore unconventional ways of incorporating striped patterns into fashion designs, such as incorporating them into innovative textile materials or implementing them in unexpected areas of clothing. - **Virtual Reality:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop virtual reality platforms and experiences specifically tailored to the fashion industry, allowing users to virtually explore photoshoots, fashion shows, and interact with virtual fashion models. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [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) - [Bold Eyewear Collection Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-rules-club.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md)
