Away with an aesthetic of excess. In with a an era of bold aesthetics staged in a spirit of notable minimalism. From textures resembling a level of cast iron grittiness to the gleaming explosion of shimmering city rigor, fashion enters a sphere of pinnacle minimalism. Draped in the creative conclusion of fashion’s most archetypal connoisseurs – Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford, Emporio Armani, Karl Lagerfeld – polymath pieces explode with a unique dialect of fascination, amplifying house codes and heritage craftsmanship. Captured in a state of tasteful simplicity, leather and glitter reach transformative heights.
