Fashion Purism and a bit of an Art History lesson

This post is similar to the previous one but, I couldn't resist when I saw the images of Mary Katrantzou's clothes on the Greek Grazia. They call her the next big thing and she was also praised by style.com.
Her designs gave me the idea of doing a post on Purism since her clothes have an obvious connection with it.

Purism is an art style which developed in the 1920s. Through Purism in painting and architecture, the artists wanted to apply to everyday life aesthetic and organization of form. But of course, people then had a reason to for doing it in reaction to certain situations, while now, it’s all about fashion and money.



Here are some current fashion pieces that have inspirations from Purist works:



Also, here is an interesting video on the Vila Savoye, one of the greatest architectural designs of the 20th century.
