Altuzarra Spring 2015

NEW YORK — Doomed is not a word that immediately comes to mind when considering the work of Joseph Altuzarra for his Altuzarra label. On the contrary, his most celebrated designs lead a charmed existence, just ask front row’s Rihanna. Ambitious, then is the designer who takes the haunting classic Rosemary’s Baby and the picturesque Barry Lyndon as his collection’s twin points of departure. “I became interested in the idea of a sinister and undone prettiness and romance, ill-fated and doomed.” The tension was present throughout and realized with poise and grace on the runway by Sigrid Cold, Hedvig Palm, Shu-Pei Qin, and Georgia Hilmer.
