Inspired by the industrial architecture of New York city and the visionary 2010 film, Tron Legacy, Italian fashion designer Domenico Cioffi creates futuristic and forward thinking fashions designed with the sci-fi obsessed urbanite in mind.
From streamlined and fitted dress silhouettes to unconventional plastic material garments, this striking collection is cultivated with the help of integrated illumination technology that is brought to life with the help of
costumer Christine Clark.
