Manoj Jadhav recently shot a series of photographs that depict models wearing bizarre, amazon-like outfits that are reminiscent both of a Jules Verne novel and a high-fashion runway photoshoot.
The photographs are all cast in a subdued, monochromatic color scheme. This lends a contrast to the amazon look, which usually inspires connotations of bright, tropical colors. Interestingly, the outfits are also like something of a sci-fi movie. They have an appeal that is not quite steam-punk but decidedly paleo-futurist nonetheless.
Such a look may be a touch too obscure an eccentric for most but these outfits are not meant to be ordinary. In fashion, if one isn’t turning heads, one isn’t usually doing their job. This cannot be said for these Manoj Jadhav photographs. The pieces are eye-catching and memorable.
