.Examining the graphics of LII's springtime 2025 compilation, you could be startled to discover the ideas was actually Michael Haneke movies. "The personalities are in a very official or an extremely intense room, yet then in some way there's an advancement or a rupture aspect that essentially ends up being the plot of the flick," the designer Zane Li said in the Chinatown studio where he was actually showing his selection. "I'm definitely enticed by the intensity of people in a formal site or in a formal space so I presumed, 'OK, let's think of just how to undo evening dress.'"
