Anti-Illusion by Valerie Chaika

A KALTBLUT exclusive menswear editorial by Valerie Chaika. Styling by RIIA and model is Michael Sawyer. Fashion by RIIA, Levi’s, Dr Martens, Loewe and Acne Studio. “Valerie Chaika collaborated with jewelry brand RIIA to create youthful fashion story “Anti-Illusion”. The idea came after our conversation about the contrast between the human body, soft and pliable against the firm solidity of metal jewelry. “Anti-Illusion” calls attention to the materiality of the object, that becomes a visual and physical extension of character.'”
