One thing no one could deny is that the new Asher Levine Spring/Summer 2012 collection had some of this years most interesting pieces. The show opened with some cinematic art direction, as men dressed in bio-hazard gear opened up a tent to unveil the designer’s collection.
Tentacle-inspired pieces showcased along with sheer knits and avant-garde, leather garments were worn by the models who looked as if they were part human, part space creature. Other models walked down the runway in jumpsuits and futuristic monochromatic pieces that you’d expect to see on a superhero or intergalactic warrior from a sci-fi flick. So if you’re looking to become part human, part beast this spring, the Asher Levine Spring/Summer 2012 line may be the only one that can help make this dream a reality.
