sci-TRIBE aesthetic


Futuristic alien materials create fierce statement accessories; a brushed silver mohawk headpiece at Gareth Pugh and mirror shine circular disc earrings at Givenchy are alien landing ready. Plexi mask visors have a space age stormtrooper slant in polished plastics and shades of slate, black and emerald. The shimmering shine of futuristic silver foil transforms gloves in elbow and driving glove lengths. Reflective textures enhance highlights in foil finishes or snakeskin while fingerless metallic latex adds a wipe clean fetish feel. Ultraviolet accents give an otherworldly futuristic glow to a textured holographic wrist strap clutch and raw amethyst moon rock minerals adorn shiny silver cuffs at Chanel. Margiela’s textured silver kryptonite chunk hangs from a ribbon necklace or has a knuckleduster effect as a ring, reminiscent of a souvenir from another planet.
