Laura Gerte

ABOUT THE COLLECTION

For her latest collection titled "Desire/Chaos", designer Laura Gerte delves into the complexity of the feminine experience. It is a reflection on motives of desire, impermanence, womanhood, pleasure, inevitability, beauty, decay, and rage. The garments, transformative in character, mirror this interplay of strength and fragility: skin-tight mesh and rigid canvas meet fluid silhouettes; silk florals appear to have grown from and withered upon the garments; draped T-shirts, silk foulards, and wrapped mesh emphasize the feminine form, while raw edges and distressed jersey and denim create striking contrasts. The designer integrates historical and contemporary references throughout, and Laura Gerte’s distinct signature — such as thick piping, smocked silk, patchwork prints, and trompe l’oeil — runs subtly through the collection. “Desire/Chaos” explores the emotional landscape of contemporary femininity and the conflicting experiences wom*n navigate daily, constantly, throughout their lives. It is a visual metaphor for armor and intimacy – translated into exposure and concealment, openness and protection, softness and rigidity, delicacy and defiance.
