Arts and Crafts

Reinterpreting the past has always been a way designers create new looks for the future. This past Spring fashion designers have looked to the Arts and Crafts movement for pattern and design inspiration. Historical and naturalistic with a certain flair for the dramatic, both the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts designs create new opulent pieces that travel back in time.
