Faceless Masked Editorials

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Maison Martin Margiela Feature in Arena Homme Plus

— December 24, 2008 — Fashion
Following the freaky sanatorium-themed editorial in Interview magazine, we bring you another creepy yet captivating editorial that celebrates 20 years of Maison Martin Margiela.

This time, the new issue of Arena Homme+ magazine has the goods with an editorial by Olivier Rizzo featuring a masked model that was photographed by Willy Vanderperre.

The editorial is much less off-putting than the previously featured one. The model has natural poses in a pretty, sunny garden setting. However, the featureless face is still kinda creepy.
Trend Themes
1. Concealing Fashion - The trend towards faceless or masked fashion editorials and shows creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for designers to experiment with new forms of anonymity and the exploration of privacy in a world of oversharing.
2. Celebrating Nostalgia - The resurgence of fashion from previous eras, in this case, celebrating 20 years of Maison Martin Margiela, presents an opportunity for fashion retailers to tap into the collective nostalgia of their customers and create new designs inspired by past eras.
3. Minimalistic Photography - The minimalist and understated photography style used in the editorial presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for photographers to experiment with and expand the boundaries of minimalism within their field, creating new aesthetics and avenues for expression.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can explore the increasingly popular trend of faceless or masked fashion editorials and shows to create new designs that celebrate anonymity and privacy while challenging traditional notions of identity and beauty.
2. Media and Publishing - The trend of unconventional, artistic fashion editorials creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for media and publishing companies to experiment with avant-garde photography and storytelling methods, pushing the boundaries of what is considered mainstream content.
3. Photography - The minimalist and understated photography style used in the editorial presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for photographers to create new aesthetics and avenues for expression within the field of minimalism, challenging traditional approaches to composition and visual storytelling.
