Alta/Nova Magazine – Chapter 0 (Limited Edition)
Description
Alta/Nova Magazine is a biannual phygital publication conceived by Studio ALTA/NOVA, merging fashion, photography, and immersive storytelling. Each issue explores a new environment through the lens of futuristic outdoor culture, fusing editorial visuals, survival aesthetics, and experimental narratives.
Chapter 0 | "Venu d'Ici & d'Ailleurs" (From Here & Elsewhere)
Chapter 0: "Venu d'Ici & d'Ailleurs" marks the inception of a narrative perched at the frontier of the organic and the virtual. It is an immersion into the misty forests and sandstone cliffs of Fontainebleau, a transitional territory where identity blurs between earthly roots and distant pulses.
Designed as an aesthetic manifesto, this inaugural issue provides a visual reading of contemporary outdoor gear. The curated selection creates a dialogue between high-tech utility and raw elegance, featuring Oakley, Arc’teryx, Salomon, and Topologie. In this demanding narrative, garments are reimagined as armor: an envelope and an extension of the self in an ever-evolving world.
