DREAM IN THE CITY — Cover

DREAM IN THE CITY

Dream in the City captures liminal moments where urban reality blurs into reverie, rendered through vivid colour contrasts and tactile film grain. Against a powder-blue wrought-iron railing, an olive-green knit top offsets the cool metal backdrop while silver glitter scattered across the face and neck catches the light like perspiration or stardust. Inside a convenience store, a flowing robe in geometric blocks of pink, orange and white unfolds under fluorescent tubes, its palette echoing the frozen-food packaging stacked behind glass. The styling anchors itself in everyday urban margins—railings, supermarket aisles—pairing girlish innocence with artificial glamour, and the entire shoot is bathed in the saturated hues and coarse grain signature to analogue film. Featuring the work of Rebecca Perrier, this editorial distills the restless, dreaming energy of youth adrift on the vast stage of the city.
