FUTURSTATE

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Futurstate, we have taken the challenge to re-envision it 10X into the future; the look has become known for is modern, hard-edged and unflinching. Inspiration for the collection includes sci-fi, fetish, post-apocalyptic visuals, and many dystopian daydreams. This season, the style for men is extremely structured with an industrial utilitarian militant look. For women, the style ranges from sharply refined industrial to a sleek and decadent look, with underground aristocratic feel. Overall the mood of this collection is striking, powerful and invincible.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Futurstate is a Toronto based design company founded by designer Laura Stewart in 2003. Inspired by underground subcultures and alternative clubbing and music scenes, Stewart has created a fashion brand that encompasses a seamless look of dystopian style. It’s her love of creating striking fashion statements – how fashion can be transformational both physically and emotionally – that drives the design. The club-wear and street-wear collection has a dark and modern aesthetic, with a sci-fi industrial look. The range includes designs for both men and women, and has been selling successfully online to fans around the world. Futurstate has been featured in several alternative fashion magazines including Gothic Beauty, Auxiliary Magazine, and Alt Fashion UK. Recently Stewart has launched a second label, Victory & Vice, which further investigates her dark and modern vision. Its look is bold and contemporary with an edgy and raw aesthetic also quite dark in nature.
