Here are some slightly sci-fi images from an editorial called SOLARIS done by SSENSE, one of my fave online boutiques. The editorial is described as "a futuristic aesthetic that takes influence from the kinetic energy of the sun." I absolutely love it! Check out the rest of this awesome editorial here.

The title "Solaris" brings to mind the 1972 Russian film of the same-name directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. The story is an intense psychological drama set aboard a space station. There are some beautifully framed scenes in the film assisted by the minimalist retro-future set design. I can see the little threads of inspiration. This film is the perfect muse for a fashion editorial showcasing designers like Mugler, Maison Martin Margiela, and Comme des Garçons.
