Wu’s starting point for Spring was Ugo Rondinone’s Seven Magic Mountains, a large-scale installation of seven 30- to 35-foot-tall stacks of brightly painted boulders in the desert outside Las Vegas that, according to Vogue Runway, “reads as a comment on humans’ impact on nature."

“It’s funny, I never wanted to use classical Greek art, because being from there, it seemed too obvious,” Katrantzou told Vogue Runway after showing a collection that combined psychedelia and Hellenic motifs. “But this time, I thought, Why not?”

Albert Kriemler moved his collection from Paris to New York this Spring, where he was, wrote Nicole Phelps, set free by his inspiration: the paintings of Carmen Herrera, a 101-year-old Cuban-American artist whose work is now on view at the Whitney.
