Showing her 16th line, titled Hallow, at this year’s F/W 17 collection, Katie Gallagher, says Halloween is where she found inspiration. Using only two colors throughout her total 20-piece collection, what you may think was a limitation hatched a very unique line. The bright orange contrasting with the dark black, the structured lines of the garments that contrasted with the femininity of the sheer tops successfully communicated the “really strong woman” that Gallagher says was the woman the collection is designed for and inspired by. Her use of contrasts, her creativity, and her purposefulness in expression of such a strong message was artfully appreciated.
