LAVA LOVE
Spirit Novel, from Los Angeles, is one of FORWARD’s Cover Challenge winners. Let’s get acquainted with her by listening to her start in Fashion—“I have always had a passion for fashion, but after moving to Los Angeles in my 20s to go to fashion school, I realized I hated sewing. Despised it.” says Spirit. Yet, in life’s poetic way, another passion emerged from the ashes — the limitless universe of digital design. A decade spent mastering the meticulous craft of retouching for iconic brands, while gratifying, felt confined, a canvas constantly framed by another’s vision.

In this new era of fashion, she wasn’t just a mere cog in the machine; she was the maestro, seamlessly orchestrating every facet — the art direction, the vivid visuals, the ethereal ambiance. The boundless possibility of Generative AI granted her the ability to weave visual tales that transcended norms. Imagine capturing an active volcano’s fierce, untamed majesty and juxtaposing it with the ethereal elegance of haute couture, all without a hint of peril. That’s the magic of “LAVA LOVE” – a surreal dreamscape that defies reality, evoking awe and wonder in every gaze.
