What happens when the power of the unconscious mind clashes with a universe beyond the earth’s atmosphere? Staged in energy spotlighting the otherworldly, fashion’s most inimitable model muses enter a sphere of celestial excess, or maximalism, amping their metamorphic ability to level up fall fashion in phantasmic proportions. Draped in avant-garde designs by Moschino, Thom Browne, Dior, Off-White, and Loewe – striking juxtaposition surfaces between curiosity and mystery as a motif for life’s stirring complexity. By weaving house codes with the dissonant, polymath pieces reach transformative heights.
