Louisa Parris - Poetry in motion

Art is running through her veins, so her success ain't no surprise.
Louisa Parris is a London born and bred designer, creator of airy, art deco-ish printed scarves, hats and gowns.
She set up her label when she moved to San Francisco, inspiring city, and has recently returned to London to base her label here.
She won the Gen Art Styles International Design Award for Eveningwear in New York, where she showed fabulous graphic designs and floaty shapes, and her pieces are stocked by prestigious Colette in Paris.
Don't miss the beautiful fashion film (directed by her sister), showed at the last London Fashion Week.

Yayoi Kusama for Louis Vuitton - Path to infinity

In late May this year we were revealed the details of the new collaboration between the French Maison Louis Vouitton and Japanese pop artist Yayoi Kusama
The fashion brand has immersed itself in the infinite world of the iconic polka dots to give birth to an amazing (and controversial for LV bags' lovers) collection of garments and accessories inspired by the Japanese artist named Infinitely Kusama.
As pop artist, Yayoi Kusama has a very particular view of the world, influenced by the abstract expressionist movement, and exhibited in New York City during the 1960's alongside contemporary artists like Andy Warhol and George Segal.
Whether you like (or can afford) LV bags is another story.
But it's great that two art talents so different from each other in terms of vision, even age and background, got together and put their energy and passion of making work to create a dynamic, vibrant and animated collection.
Timeless
Endless
Infinite

Helmut Lang - Urban art

Helmut Lang is retired from the fashion business but his way of seeing fashion redefined how it was communicated and still remains.
The brand has inherited the subtle deconstructivism that was so iconic from the Austrian designer turned into artist.
Sometimes we just want some quality basics, but with a twist.
Minimalism as means of transition
Structured garments to sober up
