Fashion 2112 raises questions about criteria of beauty. What will “attractiveness” look like in the future? Once the predicted disappearance of certain commodities in our consumerist world actually occurs, what will stylish people yearn to wear? In this series of photos I try to reconcile the practical with the frivolous in a fanciful, optimistic, and somewhat naïve depiction. What will we do in the future with the things we can no longer throw away? Maybe, someday, beauty will be associated with things that have had their day.
