FAST COMPANY - THE FASHION ICON

Trina Turk is the fashion icon we need right now

"In a new book, Turk looks back at the 25 years since she launched her eponymous label. (In a nice touch, the book itself is bound in cloth from one of Turk’s ’60s-inspired prints.) Every season, she has created between 40 and 50 prints, inspired by garments she has stumbled across while rummaging through flea markets. Some years, she takes cues from her travels, introducing fabrics inspired by Morocco or India. These busy styles contrast with monochromatic garments, such as skinny black cigarette pants and white halter tops, still grounded in silhouettes of earlier eras. 'I’m known for my prints, but each collection also has simpler pieces, where I am much more focused on the drape of the fabric and the way it falls on the body,' Turk says." - Elizabeth Segran
