A REFLECTION ON THE FUTURE
Despite all our modern sensibilities, our minds still play tricks on us when it comes to the darkness. Shapes begin to swirl and half-materialize, uncanny threats breathe down our necks from the murkiness – and we feel silly after we flip the light switch. But what if the entities are really there? This editorial was sparked by our fascination with Lukáš Spilka's Full Moon collection and was brought to life via the talent of photography duo Shotby.us.

Blue gold is a mystical metal; it could be everything that’s fleetingly shimmering, seducing, gently luring, glinting under the caustic light reflections of water surfaces.

If you were to guess that the self-described “esoteric designer”, Stjorn Revali, behind the label Storrveldi, was profoundly influenced by Sergei Parajanov’s The Colour of Pomegranates, you would be right. Her garments are intricately made, sprinkled with iconographic imagery and symbolism, heavy cotton lace, and Eastern European nostalgia. With the designer, we talked about the right to demand authenticity, separating the want from the need, imbuing photoshoots with storytelling, and more.
