Mary Katranzou A/W2012 London

How does Mary Katranzou come up with these dynamic concepts each season and produce another stunning collection of patterns and shapes? It’s concept fashion and I love it. This time she added some ruffled and billowing chiffon and sometimes kept to one particular colour within a dress, elsewhere the palette was gorgeously mixed. It’s extraordinary that the objects she finds to inspire such beautiful prints are often so mundane: you can see clocks, telephones, typewriters and tassels, cutlery, pencils, hedges and grass, developed into a geometry of pattern that is extraordinarily displayed across the tailoring.  It is the kind of fashion theatre I love.  A small quibble, but I have to say I don’t love the dark flick on the eyes which really doesn’t work on lots of the models’ faces.
