This year's graduation took place last month and the work of Meryll Rogge was specially dear to me. Let's say I have a total crush on her collection. (here to see all the shows)
Her work, as that one of Andrea Ayala, another Antwerp student graduated in 2007 whose collection still keeps me in awe, brings to mind Sonia Delauney's designs for theater during the 20's.- Cubism seems a very recurrent topic for these graduates.Sonia Delaunay's costumes for "The Gas Heart" by Tristan Tzara.
Although such inspiration might seem dated, let me tell ya, I rather to see Cubism-inspired collections (and I'll clap if I see them!) than another twiggy/60's-hippie/70's one... it's needed more knowledge and imagination.

I love how theatrical the collection is, and how heavily it relies on cubism and shapes. Some of the pieces seem almost Dr. Seuss-ical, like children's novels brought to life.
lovely details.. very dramatic!
These pictures totally blew me away. So dramatic and playful. Amazing use of colour too.
And I love your blog - such a good read. Would love to trade links, if you want?
I love the construction and layers here...and there is a bit of the African/Picasso vibe -- Mademoiselles d'Avignon come alive!
i want all the ones lined up at the right, specially the one with the dark bottom and the orange fake skinny nectie-ish. These are divine, fab yellow shoes also <3. Does that middle far left look like an uber nicer version of the toilet-paper PRunway from last week?...
