pastiching
Aping another's style
Pastiching is imitating or creating in the style of another artist, genre, or period—producing a pastiche.
The word usually implies affectionate homage rather than mockery: The film pastiches 1940s noir without descending into parody.
Someone pastiching Hemingway adopts his spare prose style; pastiching disco means recreating its sound and aesthetic.
