Has it ever happened to you to try to find some way to relate a certain artist’s work with fashion, because you know that the enormous legacy he/she left to the world must have influenced so many aspects of life and every possible creative field, undoubtedly fashion too? That’s what I was trying to do regarding our great artist, the pioneer of modernism, sculptor Constantin Brâncuși. And yesterday I finally found the door to put my idea in motion. His revolutionary style was part of the inspiration for my latest fashion obsession, Maiyet’s Pre-Fall 2013 collection, “Brancusi’s Mongolia”.
The more I think about it the more natural I find this association of names: Maiyet works with rare artisans from all over the world, trying to return to the roots of luxury; it can not be luxury if it is not created by the most crafted hands and with the soul – doesn’t it somehow reflect Brâncuși’s own philosophy: “What is real is not the appearance, but the idea, the essence of things”? The minimalist, linear shapes of these four looks (my favourites in the collection) are of an incredible visual elegance, they are so sophisticated in their extreme simplicity. Yes, this is a beautiful interpretation of Brâncuși’s style.

One of my favourite collections, too. Just loved the lines and colours of it so much. x
I like the way you described this collection, so you 🙂 I would wear the dresses, of course 🙂
These silhouettes are so elegant and chic. I’m in love with that black dress.

what a fantastic collection. that sweater. that black dress. love.
what a stunning collection! thanks for sharing, xx
Pure luxury! Those clothes have inmediatly catched my eye.
These silhouettes are beautiful. The last two images appeal to me the most and those pieces are something I’d consider wearing. I don’t know much about your sculptor CB but this design is elegant so being under his influence is obviously a good thing.
Beautiful designs, very wearable.
Ada,
It’s so funny I was also thinking about posting about modernist design and try to find a link between fashion and interiors. I love how you’ve done it! The bottom right outfit is my favorite.
How stunning… I love the second to last dress and that hem! Beautiful:)xx
