Collection Inspiration

Charles Baudelaire draws a bright line between life and death in his collection of poems “The Flowers of Evil” (Les Fleurs du mal). This is the inspiration behind LARA QUINT’s new Autumn/Winter collection “Les Fleurs du mal”. Its central image is a flower in the state of catharsis: a bright, blinding flash, the craving for the sun, the intoxicating scent. Strict designs coupled with laconic knitwear find harmony through the magic touch of LARA QUINT. Long coats, trouser suits, and woolen overalls matched with knee-high boots and rubberized fabric gloves are a complementary combination of rough male and delicate feminine aesthetics. A chrysanthemum flower is the collection’s central motif, making its way through stitches, petals entwining chests and waists, and returning to the soil as dew drops trickling down the stalks of our hands.
