Lygia Clark (1920 – 1988) was a Brazilian artist best known for her painting and installation work.
She was often associated with the Brazilian Constructivist movements of the mid-20th century and the Tropicalia movement. Even with the changes in how she approached her artwork, she did not stray far from her Constructivist roots. Along with Brazilian artists Amilcar de Castro, Franz Weissmann, Lygia Pape and poet Ferreira Gullar, Clark co-founded the Neo-Concretist art movement.
The Neo-Concretists believed that art ought to be subjective and organic. Throughout her career trajectory, Clark discovered ways for museum goers (who would later be referred to as "participants") to interact with her art works. She sought to redefine the relationship between art and society. Clark's works dealt with inner life and feelings.
The folds and architecture of her sculptures were echoed in Rodriguez’s designs.

Narciso Fall 2013 collection at New York Fashion week is all Geometry 101, where the source of inspiration was: Brazilian artist Lygia Clark, whose work he encountered at the São Paulo Biennial last year.
An strong point in this collection is the diagonal line, that is present in his minimal and angular silhouettes giving asymmetrical cuts from the waistline to the hems, and folding the fabrics back and forth creating layers to give shape to their angular A-line tunics and slip dresses and white dresses.
Colorblocking turning out a collection of dresses that featured big blocks, "tinta unita" (tone-on-tone) or contrasting hues. black color is back in the new collection, with a series of partially embroidered looks in a high-tech, laser-bonded fabric that was a mix of materials like charmeuse and latex, but I like the effect of mixing crepe and silk.
He started out in stark black-and-white, but he gave the same valor to the cognac, tangerine, midnight blue tones.
"I came back and everything in my life was about color and asking how do you mix color in interesting ways, which is sort of a different road for me" Rodriguez said.
Cutaway jackets came lapel-less, with narrow sleeves.
One favorite look to me is this 'timeless' symmetrical sleek bustier, 'palabra de honor' neckline (Strapless), with those slim, short trousers that elongates the silhouette of every woman. Definitely this collection is pure 'Geometry 101' wearable.
Enjoy the collection...
