Fashion Editorial | Breath
Luxiders Magazine teamed up to explore the notions of uncertainty, social distancing and nature. In an effort to evoke current sentiments related to isolation and lack of human touch we found peace in supporting rising, sustainable brands whose work reframe our relation to nature. We are realising that we are not alone. We are part of nature. And nature is everywhere.
