Post-Apocalyptic Songstress Covers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This W Magazine Collector's Issue Features Rihanna

— August 3, 2016 — Fashion
This newly unveiled W Magazine Collector's Issue features songstress and style icon Rihanna who channels a post-apocalyptic monarch in the photoshoot. The publication's September 2016 installment is both edgy and opulent, featuring a gorgeous cover -- a closeup of Rihanna's face as she dons gleaming crown, choker and lip jewels along with an ornate golden monacle that contrasts a sequined red lip.

Inside this W Magazine Collector's issue, fans will find more theatrical and dystopian portraits of Rihanna who is depicted while sporting a dramatic and sculptural wardrobe. This editorial's fashion picks include staples from Christian Dior and Prada among other couture heavyweights while its images are captured by the talented Steven Klein who collaborates with W's creative director Edward Enninful and screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker.
Trend Themes
1. Dystopian Fashion - There is an opportunity for fashion and accessories designers to create a future-based collection inspired by post-apocalyptic and monarch styles.
2. Celebrity Fashion Cover Shoots - Fashion magazines can leverage celebrity style icons to curate cover shoots that feature avant-garde theatrical makeup, monarchical fashion wear, and accessories to create an edgy fashion statement.
3. Avant-garde Makeup - Makeup artists and niche cosmetics brands can create a line of lip jewels, chokers, sequined red lips, and other theatrical makeup elements that complement avant-garde fashion wear.
Industry Implications

2. Entertainment - Entertainment platforms such as magazines, streaming services, and award shows can use this trend to create an edgier image that aligns with the post-apocalyptic monarch's fashion and style.
3. Beauty Cosmetics - Cosmetics brands can target niche markets to create theatrical makeup elements such as lip jewels, chokers, and sequined red lips that complement the avant-garde fashion wear inspired by this trend.
