Haute & Gritty



Haute and Gritty is inspired by New York City in the 1980s, when the city was full of artists like Andy Warhol, designers like Halston, and socialites like Bianca Jagger. I took alot of imagery from Studio 54, a famous club in the city in the late 70s and 80s. The colors red & black are prevalent in this particular collection because they represent danger, excitement, and raw emotion.




Haute & Gritty draws inspiration from films set in New York City, like the updated version of the film "Thomas Crown Affair" and the Gothic architecture found in the city - represented here by the band My Chemical Romance's video for their song "Helena."
