“Too Good To Be True” provokes one to question what could be considered “true”, from the futures perspective.
Due to technological advances fundamentally re-shaping the way we not just create and consume fashion but present it and everything this encapsulates, this film aims to display these innovations in a more visually appealing way. It presents four, almost magical seeming procedures that exist in real life but visually communicated in a different way, fusing real-life and ai generated shots. The beauty of it is that it is neither completley true or false. The innovations do actually exist in its individual form but not yet in connection with the garments that are shown.

REGNOSIS: To view the present from the futures perspective. This project does not just embrace the Zeitgeist, but challenge it. It re-imagines the present from the futures perspective embracing new, different ways of creating
