You've seen Taylor Swift sport Libertine -- you probably just didn't realize it.

Remember this sequined purple jacket she rocked during her 1989 tour? Yup, that's Libertine -- and she's not the only celebrity who's been spotted in the brand's pieces.

The brand, founded and created by Johnson Hartig, stayed true to its eclectic form with its Spring/Summer 2017 collection -- unveiled at The Gallery in NYC on Monday evening.

Bright pink graphic tights, fur-embellished heels, glasses with pearl-dripping lips and a loaf of bread in a model's tote were just some of the quirky elements Hartig incorporated.

Take a look:

He even sought to make a political statement with the collection, according to Pret-a-Reporter.

"It was very intentional," Hartig told Pret-a-Reporter backstage, referring to the juxtaposition of an anarchy symbol and Queen Elizabeth patches.

"I'm just so frustrated that these are our two candidates, and no one is talking about the environment, and our world is overheating.... It's really a mess and no one's talking about it and it drives me out of my f--kin' mind."

Despite the designer's frustrations, also embodied in the collection's title, "We Hate Everything," the show ended with a full-on dance party on the runway.

Sometimes you just have to dance it out.
