The Ones 2 Watch 'Dark Web' fashion story doesn't necessarily reference the true meaning of the term that is most often associated with the broader Deep Web but instead highlights cyber-themed visuals and props.
Photographer Ezekiel Santos captures the series inside a research lab which features retro desktop computers, copiers and other tech equipment many may remember from the 90s. The Dark Web editorial features model Louis at Anti Agency London and is styled by Ali Ekmekci.
Some of the editorial's most memorable wardrobe picks include textured, wooly jackets, layered plaid outfits and even knits that boast patterns reminiscent of electrical circuit boards. Drawing inspiration from nostalgia and cyber imagery, this editorial plays up the fashion industry's ongoing 90s obsession and evokes a moody and youthful vibe.
