A KALTBLUT exclusive. Photography by Jonas Mantay. The model is Julia Seeger. Hair and makeup by Laetitia Prange. Fashion by NOWRUBI, &otherstories, and Zara. “While Berlin designer NOWRUBI referred to childhood experiences in his collection “INNOCENCE” not as a nostalgically idealised state, but as a complex space of experience characterised by imagination, uncertainty & discovery, photographer Jonas Mantay extends the transformation from childhood innocence to adulthood.
It’s about growing up as a process of distortion instead of clarity. The looks exaggerate the duality of exposing oneself while trying to hide behind fabric. In unlearning innocence, we come to realise that the very things we hide behind are what ultimately expose us.”
