The Lara Quint Fall/Winter 2015 collection draws inspiration from literary character and cinematic villain Hannibal Lecter. The complex character is a successful medical professional who is also secretly a killer and was most recently portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen in the popular television series 'Hannibal.'
The dark and complex character inspired this collection of sculptural suits that boast classic silhouettes with an unexpected twist. While the collections suits and outerwear staples feature protruding and organic elements -- inspired by the human anatomy -- its sportier pieces are accented with surrealist graphics of human bodies and botanical matter.
Lara Quint's latest womenswear collection blends fantasy with intricate craftsmanship and highlights the designer's talent for tailoring. The collection's most memorable pieces are sculptural coats that transform their shape at every angle.
