Alexandre Herchcovitch Spring 2007 Olympus Fashion Week September 9, 2006 The Tents at Bryant Park Written by Janet Perisa Photographed by Evan Sung

Brazilian designer Alexandre Herchovitch has a flair for presenting the unique and unexpected; deconstructed frocks in bold tribal prints took center stage as Herchcovitch’s models walked the runway driven by the sound of the eclectic indie one-man-band Final Fantasy.

“We took inspiration for this collection from a South American tribe and [then] incorporated themes from the punk movement into how the tribal people dress. Music also inspires me; I feel that music and fashion run parallel. I have friends in the music business who are inspired by fashion as well,” said Herchovitch.

His revolutionary looks and sublime musical taste created one of Fashion Week’s most intriguing shows; it definitely gave fashion’s experimental players something to look forward to next spring.
