Patrik Rzepski is a fashion super star. Super. Star. He takes blatantly dark themes and translates them into beautiful garments.Describing his S/S '09 collection of women's wear, about an hour before its New York Fashion Week debut, he says, "I like this collection because it balances the line and falls off the line."

The collection was geometric and modern, fabricated from taffeta, silk and chiffon. He does great drapes and finds unexpected variations with his patterns and technique. Courtorture has a blurry but full gallery. Oh, and Rzepski is guest blogging for Paper Magazine during fashion week.
