It’s not the first time fashion has taken inspiration

from art, and it certainly won’t be the last. As the

world celebrates 100 years of the influential

German design movement, the new collections

are going Bauhaus too. The A/W 19 catwalks

were filled with geometric shapes, modernist

prints and a popping primary colour palette –

think Grace Jones circa 1980. JW Anderson

took the architectural inspiration more literally

than most, with boxy shapes and outré shoulders.

Louis Vuitton and Akris embraced the kind of

bold, graphic prints of which Walter Gropius

would be proud, while Longchamp debuted its

LGP monogram on candy-bright bags. Throw

in some super-sculptural accessories (like a Bottega

Veneta Pyramid bag) and you’ve got the Bauhaus

look down to a fine art.
