A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM

Written By James Morris

Editorial · 2026

Created exclusively for 17:23 Magazine, A Glitch in the System fractures notions of polished futurism through sculptural hair design and experimental fashion imagery. Saturated in electric blues and ultraviolet tones, the series explores hair as a form of sculptural interference, where scale, texture and silhouette exist between precision and collapse. Developed in collaboration with hair artist Tia Almayne, the work reframes beauty through disruption, balancing graphic composition with tactile materiality.
