Fluidity, modernism and artistry are all essential to designer Bibi Lowe’s creative vision for her namesake label Bibi Ghost. With the success of her autumn/winter ’08 collection at Copenhagen Fashion Week, the designer’s sophomore spring / summer ’09 collection has reinvigorated our captivation with her simple and seemingly effortless feminine designs. Inspired by her surroundings and driven by a strong spirit of individualism, this fresh new label has put a unique twist on the allures of minimalism.

Ghost’s designs are deliciously understated; Lowe uses sparse, yet poignant color palettes and prints to compliment the simple draping of her garments. Blurring the lines between clothing and sculpture, Ghost creates interesting and unique silhouettes that exude her line’s playful sophistication. The key, however, lies in the organic and polymorphous nature of the garments—each has the potential to reflect its wearer’s mood and personality as they see fit.

Ghost’s obsession with contrasts comes across loud and clear: her collection boasts both minimalist cuts and sumptuous volume, a dark, dreary maturity mixed in with a playful light-heartedness. Her designs move beyond the scope of her clothing, creating a carefully crafted mood or narrative within which we are able to understand each collection. These fleeting installation-like pieces leave behind a favorable impression, and definitely set her designs a cut above the rest.
