Model Alexander Johansson stars in a 90’s-inspired futuristic editorial for Out, September 2014, blending nostalgia with a distinctly modern edge. The images channel a dark, galaxy-like aesthetic reminiscent of The Matrix, where sleek lines meet bold, chunky tailoring to create a sense of otherworldly tension.
Wardrobe selections from Calvin Klein and Jil Sander reinforce this futuristic vision. Clean minimalism contrasts with oversized shapes, while structured silhouettes and unexpected proportions give each frame a dramatic, almost cinematic presence. The juxtaposition of simplicity and volume creates a tension that feels both grounded and visionary.
Styling further emphasized the editorial’s dystopian undertone. Hair and makeup were kept restrained, allowing the clothing and overall composition to dominate the narrative. Light, shadow, and reflective surfaces contributed to a sense of depth, transforming each image into a small story of alienation and power.
The editorial evokes a future that is unmistakably rooted in 90’s aesthetics. It celebrates minimalism, bold tailoring, and a moody palette while giving them a narrative edge that feels current and cinematic. Alexander Johansson’s presence anchors the imagery, conveying confidence, aloofness, and a quiet sense of rebellion.
