Mary Katranzou really nails opulence. In the current fashion climate whereby designers seem to be constantly striving for reduction, it is refreshing. Mary is a London-based designer and caught my eye a year or two ago, and since then she seems to be excellent at producing really interesting clothes. This collection takes her signature concept of hyper real print and takes it to its most beautiful and extreme. Whether it be an English country garden, photoshopped into seeming borderline virtual, mosaic formations or paradisical floral prints - she layered prints on prints on prints. She gave method to her madness through the highly structured cuts with lampshade-esque skirts and body plates. I can't wait for Spring! Florals and prints here I come.
