Nostalgia and futurism can coexist, as some of the most forward-thinking designers have been highlighting in recent collections.

Sometimes it feels like nostalgia has a monopoly on fashion these days. &#39;80s statement blazers regularly come back in exaggerated ways, Kaia Gerber has risen to fame thanks in part to resembling mom Cindy Crawford, and Alessandro Michele has rebuilt Gucci&nbsp;using a mix of Renaissance detailing and quirky basics. But while all eyes have been on how fashion looks to the past, several designers have quietly built a sartorial movement that envisions&nbsp;the future. Marine Serre has created an LVMH Prize-worthy brand on a concept she dubs &quot;Futurewear,&quot; Raf Simons brought an otherworldly vision to Calvin Klein over two years as creative director, and Louis Vuitton&#39;s latest collection brings heritage craft to space-inspired structure. To celebrate these visions, photographer Alex Black and stylist Natalia Zemliakova brought Spring 2019&#39;s most forward-thinking pieces into a story that transcends time and place with starry backdrops, rocky voids, and a voluminous hairstyle. The photos are reminiscent of classic space-age inspiration, but they also undeniably take from more recent trends to revisit what might happen if non-astronauts finally get the option to take a vacation away from Earth.
