Label Text:Albert Kriemler drew inspiration for his spring 2017 collection from the work of Cuban-born artist Carmen Herrra — her series Blanco y Verde in particular. Transforming Herrera’s colorful geometries into garments, Kriemler expressed his desire to give her minimal art “a different appearance, a different being than just a transport of the painting to the dress.”
