Hooked: Baroque Bags
“Natural forms and curves are applicable to human architectures,” says bag designer Konstantin Kofta, who’s incorporated ornate baroque architecture — replicating actual chunks of the stuff — in his spring collection of backpacks and clutches. The Slovenian designer has evoked the shapes, curves, and decoration of the dramatic period, transferring them to sculptural leather, much like his unconventional recreations of skin, bones, and tar of previous seasons.
