An aesthetic rooted in raw, primal, nature-forward energy — think fur textures, earthy tones, bone and claw motifs, feral faces, and fashion that leans into the fantasy of being something untamed. Animal core isn't about literal animal print (that's a different vibe); it's about channeling the essence of a creature — ungovernable, physical, beautiful in a dangerous way. It shows up in alt fashion, editorial photography, music video aesthetics, and makeup looks that go heavy on the instinctive and light on the polished. Equal parts feral and intentional.
The whole shoot was animal core — raw textures, dirt, and this feral energy that felt genuinely dangerous.
