The editorial 'Oni's Dwelling' showcases a fusion of modern fashion with themes of tradition and memory. Through photography by Traevon Warren, the work reflects on the lingering presence of the past in our lives. It examines how, despite our attempts to distance ourselves from our origins, the threads of history and culture continue to influence our identities. The title nods to Japanese folklore, emphasizing the entwined nature of our past and present, where ghosts of tradition haunt the contemporary world.
In our ambition, we attempt to alienate ourselves from our origins. Yet, the past cannot be unbound from us and we become beings of anachronism.
Phantoms of who we were are ever mingling with what we have become. It is this liminality of our present world that inspired this editorial.
The title Oni's Dwelling refers to the Japanese Yokai. Monsters who lived in the caves where once our ancestors resided.
As time unwinds before us, the fear of our past lingers in the intimate parts of everyday life.
