ALL COMES FROM NOTHING kicked off the last day of fashion week with a vibrant fashion-forward collection that was wearable, youthful, and definitely “came from something.”
In 2016 designer Eva Xu visited Neue Galerie New York to view “Woman in Gold” (Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I). Gustav Klimt’s bold golden tone emulating modern beauty, the Art- Deco style dress and kaleidoscopic prints amazed her. Xu was struck by the Greek gods who under Gustav’s brush, who not only looked like, but also behaved as modern gents and ladies, full of emotion. This was especially striking to the designer when viewing Klimt’s masterpiece Love and Embrace. ALL COMES FROM NOTHING’s FW18 collection named LOVE IS THE ONLY GOLD as a tribute to Klimt.
