and intuitive, both rigorous and random / De Stijl is the style /
Bauhaus is our house / Pop Haus

Colors & Fabrics

Like the Pop Art movement, the Pop Haus palette borrows
from the flat, eye-catching colors used in advertising. Vivid
yellow, kelly green and bright orange are used on their own
or in combination for striking ensembles. Black and tan
provide essential neutral contrast, while artist Yves Klein!s
signature blue further connects this trend to the arts.

High-tech and high shine are key attributes for Pop Haus
materials. Lacquered and patent leathers add a futuristic
edginess, and performance fabrics like nylon, spandex,
neoprene and other synthetics add bounce to clean shapes.
Transparent filament yarns emerge, used in combination
with traditional yarns for “illusion” sweaters. Lustrous satins
and pavé paillettes give looks a glossy sheen, while matte
jerseys and firm ponte knits provide a lusterless
counterpoint.
