Avant-apocalypse

Hardcore metal accessories, dilapidated undergarments, earthen leather outerwear — are we at Fashion Week or the set of a dystopian YA movie? Societal anxieties around climate change, political discord and rising tensions have made way for a fashion movement that’s built for the apocalypse, featuring sci-fi cutouts, natural fabrics and subversive styling.

GET THE LOOK: Pair leather and metal hardware with distressed or unexpected basics. Check out our subversive basics article for starting points or take out a pair of scissors and hack up an old sweater yourself.
