Chaos Theory

In times of uncertainty, sometimes we have to embrace chaos...

Photographer Xanthe Hutchinson and stylist Bethani Gowland team up for a whimsical fashion editorial inspired by chaos theory. This branch of science hones in on how tiny changes to our interconnected world can have massive effects on phenomena like the weather or the stock market.

What this translates to in fashion terms is an eclectic mix of fluffy hats, babydoll capes and oversized bows, all captured via kitschy polaroids. A celebration of eccentricity, it makes the call for us to disrupt mundanity in favour of creativity. The perfect cure for self isolation boredom.
