Inspired by the desire to escape the dystopia of quotidian life, what follows is a story of contrast and adaptability featuring looks that play with the transient nature of trends and seasons by leaning into the resurgence of 90s nihilism and goth-kid culture, playing with today's evolved codes of luxury, and borrowing from the narrative of David Bowie’s “The Man Who Fell to Earth."


Featuring rising industry favorite Mika Nobles in the finest dark fashions of the season, we bear witness to her exploration of unknown seashores, seemingly existing in these spaces for the very first time. Her personhood intact, immovable—a Nosferatu-like character forever at odds with the real—she mirrors calculations between the known and the felt.
