The worlds of [sci-fi style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) and rockstar fashion have collided for 'Let's Party' in Numero Japan. Photographer Liz Colins captures Anne Sophie Monrad in a number of fashions that blend [80s punk fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gdc-x-hysteric-glamour) with a touch of the futuristic avant-garde. My favorite example of this fusion is the first image, which pairs sharp [galactic shoulder pads with chains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-islands-metal-mesh-jacket).
