EXCERPT: HELIOT EMIL FALL RTW 2023 - PARIS FASHION WEEK.

 

"...it is no wonder that elements of the fashion industry, have reinvigorated  their dystopian templates, yet this time, rather than a romanticized imprint from popular culture, it actually might be happening for real.  Society on a global scale could be on the verge of collapse.  And if the global pandemic was the first of many wake up calls, Climate Change and a 'hot' war with Russian and China could be the next descending clouds of chaos.  So, why not dress for the occasion?
