The silver spiked spines in the Klara Kalicz ‘That Mystic’ collection are a modern and fantastical touch. The Hungarian fashion and costume designer creates pieces that are radiant in the way they capture and reflect light. Her [futuristic reinvention](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion) of the LBD includes strong [geometric embellishments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece) in some of the most unconventional places.

Although we have seen [spikes and studs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replica-suit) being used as a more prominent feature in fashion, I love the way the Klara Kalicz ‘That Mystic’ collection takes on this edgy look.
