Designer and photographer choose to transform the obsession with the internet and the opportunity to create digital art and fashion. This campaign, which among its protagonists sees the actress, musician and star of the network Kiko Mizuhara, look to the past to go to the future, creating a new community. It 's a new kind of tribe in which reality coexist mutually opposite: Michelangelo, Picasso, Avedon, neo-classicism and the digital world.
