Art encompasses more than the paintings that hang on the walls of our homes and in museums. Whether the hand stitching of a blouse or the painted face of its wearer, what was once an abstract thought transforms into a tangible work of art.

Standing in front of a painting elicits the movement of the artist’s brushstrokes in your own veins. But what was once frenetic is now still and contained in a delicate yet perfect balance of shapes and colors. Such is our look at fashion this month, as the movement of energetic, bright patterns and textures balance against the stoic cuts of boyfriend pieces.
