Leo Prothmann FW24, Palma De Mallorca in March 2024.
We envision a world three centuries into the future, the Earth’s surface radiates intense heat and human skin can scarcely withstand exposure. In this altered landscape, remnants of human industry – plastic, concrete, and metal – have fused with the planet’s crust, evolving into new mineral strata and fostering unfamiliar forms of life.
Daily existence unfolds in a rhythm of survival and care: tending to the scorched land, seeking traces of resilience amid the vast silence.
The arid terrain, the presence of heavy machinery, and the sense of isolation evoke both the desolation of a changed planet and a deep nostalgia for the organic worlds that preceded it.
At its heart, the collection meditates on interconnectedness and responsibility—reminding us that care for the Earth, for one another, and for the values that bind us remains essential. The future, it suggests, is not a distant abstraction but a living extension of the choices we make today.
Our future is shaped by us, and the future is now.
