THEY ARE HERE

This editorial explores humanity’s imagined coexistence with extraterrestrial life, using the alien as a metaphor for difference, technology, and a future shaped by diversity. Inspired by the shift from early UFO sightings to today’s scientific and political conversations, it reflects how our inner struggles and hopes project onto the unknown.

Set in Prague, the story merges experimental silhouettes, metallic accessories, and AI-generated visuals to create a futuristic aesthetic where fashion, technology, and identity collide, suggesting a world where human and alien coexistence feels both inevitable and transformative.
