The futuristic A. Human SS19 collection has already been seen and sported by some celebrities ahead of New York Fashion Week, but instead of introducing the public to clothing pieces, the new line spotlights body modification implants.
Some of the pieces from the new collection that have made their way to social media include The Tudor, an extravagant collar-like piece, The Pinnacle shoulder piece created in collaboration with designer Nicola Formichetti and even a glowing choker-like implant worn by Kim Kardashian that fuses fashion and high-tech design.
A. Human is set to showcase its premier collection in NYC’s SoHo, promising "this collection is unlike any fashion line ever seen before." At the A. Human store, visitors will have the chance to try on body modifications and be dazzled by an immersive, theatrical art experience.
