Hot young designer Matthew Ames is definitely one to watch for in 2008. Taking a heavy dose of inspiration from the Bauhaus movement, his collection plays with form and structure and foregrounds bold geometric and curvilinear shapes. Ames' strong lines are a welcome change to the flowy babydoll dresses we've been inundated with for the last few seasons. A dramatic piece from his collection would be the perfect choice for an art opening, and we can't wait to see someone like Chloe Sevigny dressed up in Ames' duds for a red carpet event. Take a look at our slideshow of some highlights from Ames' current collection, and get ready to hear a lot more about this up and coming design star.
