Beauty in the Abstract by Ruchi Ladd

"Beauty in the Abstract," a spring/summer 2024 collection, is inspired by the visionary abstract artist Carl Holty and the dynamic structures of Frankfurt, Germany. This collection seamlessly marries Holty's bold, vibrant geometric compositions with the sleek lines and innovative design found in the heart of Frankfurt's architectural landscape. Each garment in this collection is a canvas of creativity, translating Holty's abstract expressionism into wearable art. Expect to find bold color blocking, asymmetrical silhouettes, and intricate patterns that echo Holty's exploration of form and movement. The collection captures the essence of his distinctive brushstrokes, translating them into modern, edgy designs that reflect the spirit of individuality and self-expression. My palette draws from Holty's rich color schemes and Frankfurt's urban environment, featuring a mix of vibrant hues and muted tones. These colors are carefully curated to evoke the emotions and energy in both Holty's artwork and the bustling cityscape of Frankfurt.
