These Rorschach / kaleidoscope-inspired images from Meredith Kahn’s Made Her Think accessories line caught my eye because they didn’t really catch my eye. I mean, they didn’t immediately interest me because the concept seemed too easy. I was sure I had seen something similar before. Then I got annoyed at accuracy of the name of the line.
I haven’t figured out if I have actually seen a stand-out similar layout for another line or in a photoshoot — but flipping through the lookbook for Made Her Think’s Volume VIX: Fallen made me flip through all the previous lookbooks. Kahn standardly mixes the gothic with the traditional, in terms of shape and color. Whether the inspiration is Mexico’s Day of the Dead, Victorian style, or nature, Made Her Think pieces are often vintage-looking and a little mythical. The astrology-inspired styling for this newest lookbook is probably the most modern and definitely moves the line to a new level.
