Aphid

Special S/S17 insight photographed by Paul Franco.

“Let us see that natural darkness is one half of a human life, one half of life on earth, one half of each of us.”
The APHID woman for S/S17 is deconstructing and reconciling complexity and contradiction; she is earthbound and astral, reflective and lucid. She is at once unwavering in at heart and ever seeking in spirit. She provokes convention and revels in quietly disrupting the expected.
