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.

Behind the Scenes: In the Dressing Room

 

A behind the scenes look at the models in the dressing room moments before the show. 

 All in all the night was a fabulous, shirt-ripping-off experience. The theme of the night was Bladerunner, and the celestial, Zhora inspired makeup by Cynthia Jade Farkas fit perfectly. The choreography by Kassandra Love was sexy and fun, the models were fierce and full of attitude, the music (Domination vs. Bound by Mindless Faith/Seabound) was intense and dark, and the crowd was amazing. Thanks for screaming your head off at the end! Thanks to our gorgeous models, and to everyone who was involved in this great event.

Futurstate Editorial Series: Part 4 (Finale!)

 

Photography: Derek Cutting

Model: Vudu Juju

Featured in this editorial: Chevron T-shirt, Gaze cap and Keiko Skirt

Here is the final grouping of the 4 part Futurstate editorial series shot by Derek Cutting! Vudu Juju looked stunning and diverse in each shot, whether she was dolled up in sleek pigtails looking peaceful and doe eyed, or wearing her best stomping boots looking like a futuristic warrior. The locations Derek used for this series are eerily beautiful and industrial, and suit the Futurstate aesthetic perfectly. A big thanks goes out to these two!

Futurstate Editorial Series: Part 3

Photography: Derek Cutting
Model: Vudu Juju
Featured in this editorial: Mystic cincher belt, Control skirt, Mercy top

 

The hazy light of dawn casts an eerie pink glow over the model in this editorial. She appears to be all dolled up from the night before, making her way home in the quiet of the earliest hours of the morning, taking a moment to revel in the peacefulness of a sleeping city.
