SMART COMPILATION

This series, shot by Osma Harvilathi and styled by Marie Haustein, is extracted from Tide’s fifth issue, themed Resilience & Dreams.


The concept is inspired by landscapes and aims to recreate their form and feeling through body silhouettes, garment shapes, and composition. It plays with volume, texture, and pattern as tangible translations of a reflection on what it means to be a “dreamer” today, navigating between hard and soft, colourful and neutral, rounded and angular forms.
