I captured both the runway and behind-the-scenes of Alvi Chung’s captivating collection, SPEED, presented in the atmospheric underwater tunnel of the Sydney Aquarium.

The models moved like mystical beings from a lost underwater city, as if they belonged to Atlantis. The show, titled Electric Suns, envisioned a future where the Sun fades, transforming the world as we know it.

It was an unforgettable experience documenting such a bold and imaginative vision, both on the runway and behind the scenes.
