concept

What would alien leaders wear if humans and extraterrestrials were to meet in an official visit? Syna developed - not without a pinch of irony - a fashion collection for aliens, by creating inflatable clothing for a future political utopia. The collection takes place on Europa, bringing together inflatable technology and an imaginary vision of alien and human cultures. A tribute to Syna's interests in breaking the boundaries and challenging the possibilities between traditional fashion design and other fields.
