Plastic Dreams & Neon Visions

In this editorial, the body becomes sculpture—wrapped in translucent structure, glowing color, and forward-pushing design. Plastic Dreams & Neon Visions is a collaboration between photographer Nick Berardi and avant-garde artist/designer Isaac Secret, blurring the boundaries between fashion, installation, and cinematic fantasy.

Shot in the industrial calm of Jude Studio in Downtown Los Angeles, this series explores a future where clothing reflects light as much as identity. Models are encased in sculptural acrylic, sheer vinyls, and mirrored panels—caught in bold light sequences that pulse like neon architecture. It’s part dream, part hyperreality.

Hair artist Anthony Montoya (@its_anthonymontoya) built liquid shapes and wet-sculpted finishes that played off the structures and shadows, while Albert Elizondo (@albertelizondo) painted the face like a surface—flushed skin, iridescent lids, high-gloss control. Together, the look was alien elegance, alive under pressure.

This shoot is a celebration of visual tension—sharp vs soft, future vs organic. Fashion isn’t just worn here, it’s inhabited. And the result is something cinematic, radical, and powerfully now.
