FUTURSTATE FEATURE IN GALO MAGAZINE
Benjamin S. Mack discusses the impact of black clothing in the fashion world today, whilst featuring fashion designer Laura Stewart of Futurstate: "'I am constantly fascinated by the transformational nature of clothing.

Fashion Art Toronto Profile:
http://fashionarttoronto.ca/2013/03/10/futurstate/
In celebration of the 10th anniversary of FUTURSTATE, we have taken the challenge to re-envision the brand 10X into the future; the look it has become known for is modern, hard-edged and unflinching. Inspiration for the collection includes sci-fi, fetish, post-apocalyptic visuals, and many dystopian daydreams. This season, the style for men is extremely structured with an industrial utilitarian militant look. For women, the style ranges from sharply refined industrial to a sleek and decadent look, with an underground aristocratic feel. Overall the mood of this collection is striking, powerful and invincible.

Black Mirror
Here's a look into the darkly styled imagery featured on the art-driven-photography website, "The Rich and The Beautiful Will Be Eaten First". I love the concept and name of this art vs. fashion photography website! A couple of private costume pieces that I have built (Laura X) are shown in this decadent editorial, Black Mirror. Look for the horned headdress and fur / feather harness shrug! And special thanks to my Dad for just happening to have a pair of horns stashed in his workshop! It's a little different from FUTURSTATE, but I thought I'd include it here for your viewing pleasure.

Dissension!! Editorial from Auxiliary Magazine
A few months back these stunning images were featured in a spread for Auxiliary Magazine Issue 22. They were conceptualized and created by stylist, Tasha Farrington and photographer Adam Zivo. The landscape is downtown Toronto, in an alleyway near my studio location. Definitely looks more interesting and rather dystopian captured on film. The designers featured in "Dissension" are mostly Canadian designers including FUTURSTATE as well as my alter-ego collection, Victory & Vice Hope you enjoy them!
