Underwater twin

Photographed by David Luo.

A visionary fashion editorial that plunges into the enigmatic depths of an underwater world. It imagines a parallel civilization beneath the waves, where the inhabitants mirror our appearances, fashion sensibilities, and societal structures, yet are adapted to the aquatic environment. The inspiration comes from imagining a world where water is home, and its residents, our doppelgängers or “twins,” have developed their own distinct style and civilization. Directed and styled by Jingjing Jia.
