# Couture Mime Editorials The Vogue Italia January 2012 Photo Shoot Features Fully Painted Faces By Leslie Chen | Published 2012-01-13 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-italia-january-2012 References: [fashioncopious.typepad](http://fashioncopious.typepad.com/fashioncopious/2012/01/the-power-of-love-querelle-jansen-by-craig-mcdean-for-vogue-italia-january-2012-editorial.html) & [vogue.it](http://www.vogue.it/en) I would never think that something I enjoyed so dearly as a child could be considered [high fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026), but the [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) Italia January 2012 editorial has changed my mind about face painting entirely. The photo shoot features a theme that makes being a mime look seriously couture. Captured by photographer Craig McDean, the series features model Querelle Jansen as she goes through her daily activities. The striking part of the editorial is how Jansen’s face is painted in [full black and white makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maczine). She wears the look in an effortless and stunning way as she matches it with little black dresses and chic coats. The overall soft coloring of the shoot compliments the themed makeup well. Check out the Vogue Italia January 2012 editorial to see how a painted face can mean so much more than just playing dress up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Couture Face Paint:** Opportunities for high-end face painting services in fashion and entertainment industries. - **Mime Fashion:** Emerging trend of incorporating mime-inspired elements into high fashion design and advertising. - **Black and White Makeup:** Growing trend of monochromatic makeup with bold contrasts and minimalist style. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Opportunities for high-end face painting and mime-inspired fashion design. - **Entertainment:** Increasing demand for high-quality face painting services and costumes for theatrical performances. - **Cosmetics:** Emerging market for black and white makeup products with bold contrasts and minimalist style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Runway-Inspired Peel-Off Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md)
