Lego Movie: It’s all about three-dimensional graphic prints, jagged edges, Andy Warhol's pop hues and patent leather for a shiny edge. Take inspiration from lego blocks, construct, deconstruct and flaunt silhouettes. For instance, a wrap dress that can be worn in varied ways and reversible jackets.
