i used to like building out of legos
i think i can safely project that its unlikely this current trend of geometry/architecture has gone unnoticed to the shopping eye.
it feels like everywhere i turn i’ve been seeing the simple hourglass silhouette complicated with any type of protrusive material, angular and/or curved. while its not a new thing, it feels like its creating a much bigger stir than i can remember over the recent decade.
pop culture drop: lady gaga is undeniably a huge fan of this style with her own twist.
i’m absolutely in love with this dress above from the marchesa spring line for its artistic quality. it honestly takes the idea of walking art to the next level with its obviousness. definitely reminiscient of art deco in my opinion.
upon browsing a couple of stores online, such as forever 21′s new line twelve by twelve, and american apparel’s strive for complication out of simplicity, you’ll find the blatant marketing for the architectural dress and what not scattered all over. as much struggle as i have with really liking either one of those companies, i’m surprisingly not mad.
