Called 'Vertigo in Her Eyes,' the [Alfred Hitchcock-inspired photo series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beetlejuice-beetlejuice1) was shot by Patricia van der Vliet. Made up of a series of mysterious images, including one of the model anxiously on the phone and another where she stares frightened at a hand carrying a knife, the editorial is also filled with [bright pops of color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) despite the tense subject matter. The model's make up and hair are perfectly retro with prim up 'dos and red lips. Mirroring the classic 1950s film, this Vogue Japan September 2013 photo shoot is a fashionable tribute to the artistry of film. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro-inspired Fashion Shoots:** There is an opportunity to create unique photo series inspired by classic movies and TV shows. - **Mystery Themed Photoshoots:** There is an opportunity to develop creative concepts for photoshoots that incorporate mystery and suspense into fashion photography. - **Colorful Depictions of Suspense:** There is an opportunity to explore the use of bright colors in photography to convey suspense and tension. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Photography:** Fashion photographers can utilize retro-inspired themes and mystery concepts to create unique and eye-catching images for clients. - **Advertising:** Creative agencies can incorporate mystery themes and suspenseful concepts in advertising campaigns, using them to captivate and engage audiences. - **Film Production Design:** Film production designers can draw inspiration from these Hitchcock-inspired shoots to create visually stunning and suspenseful movie sets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [90s Grunge-Inspired Fall Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md)
