"My vision of design is through lightness of lines and shapes forming garments reflecting architectural objects." -L a u r a . B r o n z i n i of LaBronz
Zag Zig Short Skirt $69
When I spotted the skirt above on the front page of etsy I knew I had to see more of her designs. And when I started exploring her etsy shop and her website I was hooked on her creative design. The FIT grad's bio says, "I am a freelance fashion designer whose vision of design is through lightness of shapes and lines, forming garments reflecting architectural objects." You can totally see the influence of architectural objects in her work. In fact she even sells contemporary light fixtures in her shop. While it's an unusual combination of things to sell, fashion and light fixtures, when you see them you will understand why it works.
Build the Light 4 $39
She started creating these lights as a project for herself to have something out of the ordinary. The lights are meant to be practical and decorative, this way it's not just a set of light bulbs hanging in your room. 4 white light bulbs built in the asymmetrically setup structure. Resembling a tree branch - a modern look with the touch of nature.
Honeycomb Motif Silver Swimsuit $89
"My designs are custom made to fit my customer, designed with quality and love. Every one of them is a little piece of my imagination step by step spreading all around the world..."
High waist, strapless, geometrically paneled dress with a sophisticated color combination. Made out of a soft comfortable stretch fabric, which gives the tight shape of the dress. Very flattering silhouette.
Long Navy Crystal Skirt $129
"It is one of my design ideas and goals to be creating garments that are architecture, modernism inspired, asymmetrical, unusual, and unexpected."
Long Asymmetrical Skirt with Color Diagonal Pockets $74
