For the [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) Paris 2009 Lara Stone issue, the French fashion magazine delved into the world of stereotypes, and featured the frail model as a China doll, a tribal warrior, and a myriad of other type-casts.

The Vogue Paris 2009 Lara Stone editorial changed up the look of the blonde, Dutch model, darkening her usually non-existent eyebrows and hair as well as caking on layer upon layer of [white face makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign) and jewels.

**Implications** - Cultural representations are a large part of the fashion industry, since designers often are inspired from [different cultures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-travel-campaign). By showing audiences the various cultures and nationalities that are inspirational at a certain point in time, consumers feel more connected to the current patterns.
