Crystalized Futuristic Photo Shoots

Baiba Ladiga Muses Fashion in the Ice Age

— July 6, 2012 — Eco
Global warming is over-hyped according to artist Baiba Ladiga who, in rebellion, designed a collection of Shanghai glacier fashions. Because humans have proven to be adaptive to varying weather conditions in the past, she believes climate change will prove no different. This hot topic has certainly cooled for Ladiga, who, consequentially, ponders what would happen if weather conditions went in the opposite direction. What if the ice age returned? In particular, she muses its effect on fashion.

To her, the effects are crystallization, mirrors and apparently, pointy-ness. In this cold world Ladiga creates, people wear shards of armor over their nude sheath dresses. Outfits are complete with matching headpieces and sometimes mouth guards. The models are shot amid the reflective skyscrapers of Shanghai, which both mimic the garments and hits the photographer's message home: though more protective, the world will go on despite environmental fluctuations. 

At any rate, the pieces she has created are undoubtedly striking.
Trend Themes
1. Glacier Fashion - Opportunity to explore and create fashion that is protective and still stylish in case of environmental fluctuations.
2. Reflective Fashion - Opportunity to design clothing that reflects light creating an appealing fashion identity while also protecting against changing environmental conditions.
3. Armor Clothing - Opportunity to create clothing that protects the body while also being aesthetically pleasing and fashionable.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Exploring and creating a trend that focuses on clothing that is protective yet stylish in case of environmental fluctuations.
2. Art - Challenging conventional fashion by creating a new artform based on both the beauty and practicality of protective clothing.
3. Photography - Exploring the boundaries of both fashion and art by incorporating the natural environment into the artistic vision.
