In Full Force

Fashion has always been a form of self-expression, never more so than of late, when the collective trends of decades past have splintered into a wonderfully multifaceted array of directions and attitudes. For our next print issue, photographer Fabien Montique and stylist Marko Vrbos have explored a variety of powerful and dramatic looks in an uncompromising celebration of color, texture, and form. Fashion is, today, whatever you want it to be, and we are all the luckier for it.
