Altered States Magazine

Altered States Magazine · Unreal Times

Unreal Times is a fashion editorial series for Altered States Magazine that explores sculptural forms and avant-garde silhouettes. The project leans into a surrealist aesthetic, utilizing dynamic draping, architectural textiles, and abstract prop styling to create layered, dreamlike compositions. Photographed by Scarlett Casciello with fashion styling by Annie Hertikova, the series features model Noor Elliott throughout a variety of high-contrast, graphic environments. The visual language emphasizes tactile fabric textures and organic shapes, achieved through a blend of chiaroscuro lighting and crisp, minimalist staging. Additional beauty and detail work is provided by makeup artist Claire Urquhart and manicurist Hayley Evans Smith, with casting direction by George Raymond Stead.
