“It wouldn’t hurt, however, to consider why Kronthaler created them (Europe is hurting) and what they represent (symbols of the continent on big and small scales).

Keep going down this route and you end up further away from the actual clothes, which when removed from all the theatrical elements, boiled down to a wardrobe of eclectic daywear with Matisse-inspired cut-outs, beachy separates (a shout-out to Yasmine Eslami on the swimwear), and asymmetric dresses that possessed a certain impulsive spirit.“
