I have mixed feelings about artificial intelligence.

I kinda hate it. Not really. OK maybe a little. I find it lacks fulfillment, empty calories in a creative diet. But I used it here, to realize a vision I’ve had for years.

“Alto Terrestre”

Or High Earth, is the only personal project of mine to use generative A.I. (although there was plenty of photography and pixel polishing involved). It just would have taken forever to create from scratch, at least to the extent I imagined. So this is an exercise of concept, not of process.

The Concept

A designer label that ignores the human canvas. Clothes and accessories more interested in materials than models. Fashion unhampered by feasibility, wardrobes only wearable in theory. I imagined haute couture that, for once, is not about us.

It’s about wood and moss, stone and leaves. It fetishizes flora and fauna. It mimics without mocking the fur and features of animals. It is a natural celebration, and an artificial compromise.
