For the Cushnie et Ochs Pre-Fall 2015 collection, designers Carly Cushnie + Michelle Ochs found inspiration in both Leeloo from film ‘The Fifth Element + their personal boarding school experiences. But it wasn’t until the designers asked themselves, ‘What would Leeloo from ‘The Fifth Element’ wear if she were a boarding school coed?’, that paved the way for their Pre-Fall collection to emerge.
Bandage + cutout details throughout collection, captures Leeloo’s edge from Luc Besson’s 1997 ‘The Fifth Element. Then the more tailored pieces appeals to the rigidity of a boring boarding school uniform.
