I have totally fallen in love with the styling of Fred Butler. It's colorful, campy, over-the-top, [glitzy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-2024-makeup), and crazy.

I have seen Butler's work for a while but have only just discovered the name that is behind a lot of fantastic images like these glorious [rainbow eyelashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v-by-velour) for 2009. There is nothing I don’t love and clearly I am not alone, as his [fabulous creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers) have appeared in Dazed & Confused, Vogue and the Selfridges Christmas Window in London.
