Box set: Showing the shape of things to come

New York – Futuristic, collarless box dresses were adorned with bold, tetris-like shapes by Brazilian fashion designer Alexandre Herchcovitch for his playful spring/summer 2011 collection at New York Fashion Week.

While the colour palette combined pastel shades with acidic tones, the scale and placement of graphic patterns maintained simplicity. Fabrics were sewn in a grid-style patchwork to give the appearance of print.
