Horror Vacuis Spring 2018

Horror Vacui, the namesake of Anna Heinrichs’ label, is the Latin derived term for “fear of emptiness.” The old design theory essentially explains the urge to fill any empty space with all kinds of details. I can relate. And so does Anna. Inspired by the opulent details and voluminous silhouettes of 15th and 16th century nightgowns, the German designer has been designing sleeping gowns, dresses and blouses in vibrant patterned silks and crisp Egyptian cottons. Not only are her pieces wonderfully over the top, the details are insanely stunning and include scalloped edges, hand smocked panels and precise piping. Clearly, I need to step up my night to day wear.

    What a stunning model!(She obviously does not need any – visible – makeup. Well-made clothes, gorgeous prints but some of the styles will look clowny on a less beautiful person.

  6. I love these clothes! So unboring! Also as a lifelong language and book nerd, I got unreasonably excited about the label name of Horror Vacui.
