In her Bauhaus-inspired fashion collection for the upcoming Fall/Winter 2018 season, designer Mary Katrantzou combines the modernist aesthetic of the movement with subtle detailed hints from "the decorative Victorian era." The result is a collection of loud silhouettes that essentially make a captivating stylish statement -- from the mesmerizing patterns to the unconventional shapes.
The Bauhaus-inspired fashion capsule had its runway debut during London Fashion Week. In it, Mary Katrantzou pays tribute to the school with iconic graphics. She then juxtaposes them with "earlier decorative work, particularly from the Arts and Crafts movement." Thus, the offerings for Fall/Winter 2018 are not only extravagant, chic and colorful. They also carry an unmistakable artistic merit and decisively celebrate the Bauhaus school's undeniable contribution to design-forward industries.
