“What is my position?” As a fashion enthusiast, designer, consumer, as a human being in a world where beauty and fashion have burgeoned into an unstoppable industry fueling capitalism, we confront ourselves with a pressing query: “What Now?!” How much should we own, and how can we enact change? For society, the climate, and the mental health of the next generation. How can we infuse fashion with meaning once more and relish it without a pang of guilt—pondering where it was produced, whether it was greenwashed, if animals or people suffer or perish due to our choice of adornment?

In the echoing halls of the once vibrant HORNIG Roastery, Together with Flare Talents and Emil Srkalovic we crafted a Photo Editorial using solely materials as garments. Within an empty roastery, the dystopian ambiance serves as the perfect backdrop for fashion in desolation—disconnected from fashion yet still tethered to the stark reality of the industry. Emil Srkalovic’s Sculptural Installation unveils the metamorphosis from fashion to refuse—the often unsightly truth lurking behind shimmering garments.

We aspire for the world to revel in fashion, yet responsibly.
