A KALTBLUT exclusive. Photography by Bàrbara Puigventós. Art direction and styling by Elena López. The model is Albert Ballesteros, signed at Agency Le Troch. Makeup by Mar Carrió. Location is Alfametal. Retouched by Sleeklabplus. Brands used are Prada, Galoel, Maison Margiela, Emporio Armani, Calzedonia, Miista, Yproject, Ottolinger, and Marni. Refrankenstein is born from what has been discarded, forgotten, or deemed useless by the world. The collection embodies the essence of the monster: a body composed of fragments, recycled fabrics, and materials brought back to life through visible sutures that celebrate imperfection.
Each garment is an act of reconstruction, a dialogue between matter and emotion, between the inanimate and the human. Irregular lines, contrasting textures, and unfinished details evoke the vulnerability and strength of a being rejected, misunderstood, and marginalised for its appearance.
Amid rusted metals and industrial remnants, this metaphor of rebirth is reinforced: a modern laboratory where what was once considered dead regains value and meaning. Refrankenstein does more than clothe bodies; it makes emotions visible, challenges ideals of perfection, and proposes a fashion that is conscious, resilient, and profoundly human.
It is an ode to imperfection, to endurance, and to the beauty that emerges when we learn to look beyond the surface.
Refrankenstein does not evoke fear or horror; it embodies strength. The broken are remade, the forgotten rise, the marginalised are revealed. Every thread, every rusted metal, every recycled fabric pulses to remind us that everything endures, everything is reborn.
