# Embellished Autumnal Separates The Vogue Japan 'Orient Express' Editorial Capitalizes Decoration By Alexandra Serrano | Published 2012-08-31 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-japan-orient-express-editorial References: [fashioncopious.typepad](http://fashioncopious.typepad.com/fashioncopious/2012/08/orient-express-bambi-northwood-blyth-by-manuela-pavesi-for-vogue-japan-october-2012-editorial.html) & [vogue.co.jp](http://www.vogue.co.jp/) Teaching a lesson in runway embellishments, the Vogue Japan 'Orient Express' Editorial is exemplary. Runways in the fall/winter season were decked out with lavish embellishments on all garments. Perhaps the most prominent in editorials is the Prada collection, in which Muccia channeled all things decorate. For the October 2012 issue, Vogue Japan has taken this notion to a more wearable level in its stellar fashion story. The tailored embellished separates shine as they were captured by photographer Manuela Pavesi. With pieces by Azzedine Alaïa, Berger Collection, Tom Binns and of course Prada, the story gives the ornate a twist of wearability. Model Bambi Northwood-Blyth is stunning with a polished beauty story by Tiziana Raimondo and Loris Rocchi who handled makeup and hair respectively. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Embellished Autumnal Separates:** Opportunity for innovative designs with lavish embellishments on garments during the fall/winter season. - **Wearable Embellishments:** Disruptive potential in creating wearable and more accessible embellished fashion pieces. - **Photographic Capture of Embellished Fashion:** Opportunity for photographers and artists to capture and showcase the beauty of embellished fashion in editorial spreads. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Innovative designers can capitalize on the trend of embellished autumnal separates by creating unique and intricate designs. - **Makeup and Hair Industry:** Potential for makeup artists and hairstylists to experiment with creative looks that complement the ornate nature of embellished fashion. - **Photography and Fashion Editorial:** Photographers and fashion editors can explore and showcase the beauty of embellished fashion in editorial spreads and fashion magazines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Minimally Elegant Fall-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-1.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [90s Grunge-Inspired Fall Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Tarnish-Resistant Jewelry Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flaire-cos-winter-edit.md)
