BE MY UNIVERSE — Cover

BE MY UNIVERSE

Electric blue and acid green light slice across skin and space, rendering the figure as a visitor from another star system in this chromatic portrait. The first frame features chain and pearl-detail neckwear draped over a sleeveless black top, credited to Kim Nayoung, Lavinia, Lee Yeseul, Bakya, and Ahn Hyungkyu, while neon gels carve the face into planes that recall sci-fi cinema's alien queens. Styling by Ha Eunbin, Rany, Jane Song, Omusi Yoon, and Brandazine layers sheer black organza shirting and lace-up trousers in a futurist-goth register, the seated pose against a pink-to-blue gradient backdrop defying earthly gravity. Colour-separation lighting—a deliberate analog glitch—fragments the image into competing channels, while metallic chain accessories catch and refract light like components of a cryogenic spacesuit. The editorial reads less as fashion and more as xenobiology: a human form borrowed to decode terrestrial aesthetics.
