There is something experimentally electrifying about the Scientist Project photo series. The fact that it centers around a [futuristic science lab theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) really makes this spread seem very [sci-fi-inspired](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprayground-x-dune). However, the shoot isn't overwhelmed with science fiction. Instead, there are steampunk elements that remind me of the set designs in 'The Golden Compass' film.

Shot by Hamburg-based photographer Jörg Rothhaar, the Scientist Project photo series is set to appear in STREETWEAR TODAY MAGAZINE's issue No. 36. Full of great [hipster fashion looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by), this editorial was able to include inspiration for two completely different age groups in a unique yet organic way. Presenting a mentor and student relationship, the models in the Scientist Project photo series really feed off of each other's style.
