Displaced
Created by IADE/UBI Branding and Fashion Design Master’s students in collaboration with ZOOT, “Displaced” pictures a world where conflict feels ambient—where fear is sudden, visceral and real, yet becomes a starting point from which something new unravels and takes shape.

In a world where conflict saturates the air we breathe, Displaced reimagines its essence. Instead of seeing fear as an adversary, it invites us to see it as a point of departure — a force that, however sudden, visceral, or painfully real, demands tracing rather than resistance.
This editorial emerges from the fractured silence of escape, caught between the urgency of flight and the fragile, superficial calm that follows. Each look — crafted by upcycling military uniforms through the Fashion Design course at IADE, with garments donated by the ‘Fui à Tropa’ project from the Tempos Brilhantes Association— is a tactile response to the unseen weight of war. The clothes carry visible traces of conflict in their fabric, their lines, and their stance.
Photographed amid hillsides and ruins of Lisbon’s Monsanto Park, the images evoke an analogue stillness. They capture moments poised between states — between being hunted and being free. In those fleeting instants of uncertain peace, the body shifts from armoured and restrained to vulnerable and liberated.
The Ukrainian models bring an unspoken authenticity to the narrative. With their homeland at war, they found refuge in Europe — and, within this editorial, a rare moment of stillness, a a fragile peace amid displacement.
ESCAPE
Fear is sudden, visceral and real.
A PAUSE, A BREATH
Between fleeting moments of stillness.
The internal dissonance of being both hunted and free.
Fear is far from being the enemy here.
Instead it is a starting point, and, from it, something new begins to unravel and take shape.
CALMNESS
Nature lends a steadier rhythm and the body feels lighter.
A brief and fragile feeling of liberation.
What remains is peace: hard-won and yet never granted.
