Futuristic Film-Inspired Lookbooks

The Mettle Fair Trade Fifth Element Catalog is Submerged

Inspired by Milla Jovovich's orange-haired, white bandage-strapped character in the movie 'The Fifth Element,' the Mettle Fair Trade Fifth Element lookbook is just as futuristically fashionable. In place of the vibrant orange, however, the model's hair is pink. Also, the outfits are a lot more diverse than Leeloo's revealing ensemble. Nevertheless, it is the golden accessories that truly steal the show--as they should.

The Mettle Fair Trade Fifth Element lookbook was stunningly shot underwater by photographer Cal Mero. The eerie captures give the looks a haunting, sci-fi vibe. Draped on Ana Kingsley, the handmade jewelry pieces shine in the dark depths. Crafted out of materials such as bombshell brass and recycled lucite, the pieces were created using body casting techniques. From chunky cuffs to bold collars, each piece makes a statement.
