The Norma Kamali Ready-to-Wear Fall 2018 collection is stunningly and artistically represented in this unconventional and retro fashion collage-styled lookbook. The whimsical silhouettes and patterned fabrics are highlighted with repetition and expressively dynamic poses. From ankle-length boxy and pink bubblegum puffers to uniformly striped duo-colored outfits, the Fall 2018 line presents some original designs in this retro fashion collage series.
Not only does the photography and the variation between tailored and baggy scream 80s revival, but so do the poses and the models haircuts, especially the exceptionally styled mullet.
Since 80s silhouette features are remembered on the 2018 runways, the nostalgic-driven elements in the Norma Kamali collection are really no surprise . However, the label definitely takes it one step further with the retro fashion collage lookbook.
