Couture as a beautiful threat. A swan from the future, dressed in light, shadow and desire. ••• #repost @nick_knight Today we launch SHOWstudio’s inaugural cover, featuring Yu-Chi Lyra Kuo, a visionary at the forefront of art and technology. Yu-Chi wears a dress of her own design, made for the Met Gala by the atelier of Jean-Paul Gaultier. For over two decades, SHOWstudio has led the conversation on where fashion and technology meet, opening new spaces for people to create and connect. Head to SHOWstudio.com to meet our first cover star and watch my in-depth interview with her on fashion as art, her creative process, philosophy, and the changing landscape of fashion and technology.
