This gorgeous lookbook showcases the designer’s great skills and traditions of a legendary culture through a rage of diverse influences including Japanese, ballet and animation. Anne Sofie Madsen creates princess-like ensembles that are elegant and dainty, further explaining that, “It is as a meeting between a mechanical ballerina and a graceful samurai.”
This multiple-genre fusion happened because the designer found inspiration in European ballet costumes and mixed it with the “late Muromachi period of Japan,” resulting in a stunning collection.
The Anne Sofie Madsen S/S 2012 collection is a combination of many looks that enhance the feminine shape and highlight one’s strong power within.
