The shift from URL playgrounds to IRL mother earth is coming — and photographer and director Anisha Sisodia is embarking on a mission to explore it. “‘Cosmicore’ is a visual representation of “grounding ourselves in a post-pandemic world and how we can exist, in peace, within the inescapable digital takeover by returning back to nature and re-establishing our identity via intentional mindfulness and human connection,” explains the team on the editorial, a seamless blend of fashion and futurism.
The fashion, curated and styled by Caro Son, examines how co-existing with both the inescapable digital takeover by going back to our roots, exploring nature and embracing acts of self-discovery. “I wanted to utilize a mix of mainstream staple brands like Nike along with more obscure Japanese brands such as And Wander and Montbell,” states Son. “In my mind, the combination of these brands symbolize what the evolution into a more Cosmicore lifestyle could look like.” These elements are brought together through production designer Gina Canavan, giving a nod to cosmic dystopia, using shades and lights to embody the hopeful feeling of optimism and connection.
In true ‘Cosmicore’ fashion, the team came together and danced between roles; discarding specific labels by creating a free-moving production where everyone could embrace their true selves. Rather than restrict ‘jobs,’ the production gave way to whatever the team wanted to do — the 1st AC became a set designer, a PA became a model, and the like.
As a final word, the team declares: “To create something authentic requires authenticity being embodied in the process. The moments that are right in front of us are the moments we can decide + expand. ‘Cosmicore’ tells a story of exploring uncharted territory. “
