More fashion designers fascinated by Jane Eyre. The Hexa by Kuho's Spring-Summer 2013 collection is inspired by Jane Eyre's 2011 designs. This is what some of the fashion blog world says after the Paris Fashion Week show:

Superior Magazine:
The spring summer 2013 collection Hexa by Kuho was inspired by the movie “Jane Eyre”, based on the book by Charlotte Brontë and artworks by Elena Herzog. The novel tells the story of a young woman who had a difficult childhood and takes a job as a governess. She felt in love with the employer and always has to fight for her freedom and self-determination. Kuho Jung translates this story about love, responsibility and the conflict between personal integrity and the desire to fulfil the wishes of others into fashion. He investigates a new aesthetic balance with highwaisted and unexpected volume, keeping in mind the image of the 19th Century British women as motifs – a collection inspired by the past and brought into the present.
The Korean designer moved with his fashion into the Victorian era. The women wore short cut youthful strapless dresses or with sloping shoulders, pointed waits and bell-shapes skirts. Layers of ruffles gave the playful dresses their innocent charm. While other items seemed to play a more powerful role in the collection: voluminous dresses with huge pagoda sleeves and high necklines. Kuho Jung found strength in a palette of cream, salmon, burgundy and turquoise. (Steffi Baumgaertner)
Fashion Field:
The collection took inspiration from Charlotte Brontë’s classic work Jane Eyre, and it sure was like a modern take on 1900th times times. Ruffles, draping, frills and you know it -in orange, red, green, yellow, gray and beige shades. Sounds messy? It wasn’t, at all. All the advanced detailing played together beautifully and the whole collection had a sense of true craftsmanship about it.
