Remnants

A visual exploration of fashion as a patchwork of time, Remnants reclaims and reimagines fragments of the past. Inspired by 90s deconstructionist designers and the eclectic nature of Y2K streetwear, this editorial embodies a DIY ethos—where style is not inherited but assembled, pieced together from different eras and influences.

Curated and styled entirely from pre-owned pieces, the collection embraces imperfection, transformation, and resourcefulness. Set against a stark concrete backdrop, each look reflects both decay and reinvention. Denim, cargo, and unfinished textures form a collage of worn yet deliberate choices, layered in blues, reds, grays, and army green.

Some outfits lean into a grunge sensibility with distressed textures and asymmetry, while others incorporate more refined elements like structured tailoring and traditional silhouettes. This contrast reflects how fashion continuously reconstructs itself—melding raw, rebellious influences with elevated details to create something both nostalgic and newly reimagined.

The uniform shooting style—capturing each look head-on and at a 90-degree turn—creates a sense of structure within an otherwise deconstructed aesthetic. By stripping away dynamic poses or varied angles, the focus remains on the garments themselves, much like an archival documentation of reconstructed pieces. This approach reinforces the editorial’s theme: just as the outfits are assembled from remnants of the past, the standardized framing treats them as artifacts of reinvention, showcasing their transformation with clarity and precision.

A film-like filter enhances the images with a vintage, timeworn quality, underscoring the cyclical nature of fashion and the beauty of reinterpretation.

Remnants is not just about what is left behind—it is about what can be salvaged, reassembled, and made new.
