The Russell Barratt collection looks like it would be more at home on planet Pandora from Avatar than here on Earth.

With a comibnation of [mime-like makeup and contorted poses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-zombie), the Russell Barratt collection enters a world where not many designers have traversed before and for that he should get kudos.
