Joseph Altuzarra is a designer who is split between Paris and New York. His collection is a blend of wearable clothing for real women and the contemporary couture sensibility of European craftsmanship.
In his presentation for Fall 2010, he named "Edward Scissorhands" as his muse. The clothing was a luxe mix of rich red velvet, black leather, fur and lacing. The theme of stitched together seams and slashed sexiness was evident.
