Shot by photographer Greg Kadel, ‘Scientific Glamour’ adds a bit of futuristic architectural fashiontography to the pages of Vogue China’s August 2009 issue. With sharp minidresses, puffed-up shoulders and an angular setting, this editorial is a fashion-forward fantasy.
We’ve seen a number of futuristic editorials and fashion shoots that feature heavy architectural influences. Check out some of my favorites below.
Implications - The recession gave consumers reason to take a harsh look at their future; accordingly, doomsday prophecies and apocalyptic inspiration appeared in nearly every facet of mainstream culture. Fashion designers used this tension as a springboard to release avant-garde collections and magazine editorials that envision the future in a new, uplifting way.
