Entitled "Concourse", the Chelsea Bravo Spring/Summer 2015 lookbook is nothing short of stunning. The designer's latest collection embodies an eccentrically elegant air and challenges the way we look at traditional sportswear.
Her custom-made t-shirts boast collage-inspired graphics that are a reflection of their modern art inspiration. The designer pays homage to cubist sculptors Barbara Hepworth and Jacques Lipchitz along with painter Henri Laurens in her works and creates pieces that are both dynamic and vanguard.
Chelsea Bravo's art school themed streetwear collection is displayed in a palette of whites, blues, yellows and bold reds that are clean and vibrant in their aesthetic. These styles embody an effortlessly cool air and feature a layering effect of "denim, linen and felt appliqué accents" that are signature to the designer.
