While most of our closet doesn't venture beyond our front doors these days, fashion's most outlandish innovators are determined we look good either way. Iris Van Herpen, Alexander McQueen, and more continue to inspire us with celebratory, eccentric clothes. With stark lines and theatrical shapes, avant-garde designers are creating fashion to engender enough fantasy for our current times and beyond. Here, legendary beauty Hannelore Knuts looks ahead to a fashionable future worth fêting.
