I have to admit, even though I am a great admirer of the colourful designer, and I see her name everytime I open my web browser, I always have to flip back and forth from google to my blog to write don't her last name.
Greek-born, Mary Katrantzou is famous for her bold and colourful prints.
Back in September 2011, her ready to wear spring 2012 collection was shown on a runway, and had a huge impact on the fashion world.
The use of abstract prints and bold yet fluid human forms included in the clothing, created a vibe similar to, say, Man Vs. Nature.
There are hints of a more structural design to the dress, but they are adressed to as a background state as the fluidity and bright colour of the designs shine through.
Her pieces vary from tailored trousers that add some zest in a dull outfit, to slightly more exagerated bowl-skirted party dresses that are created to stand out in the crowd and make everyone gasp and remember 'That woman with style" (Cheesy I know, but true?)
Now, she is creating a collection for Topshop, hopefully the price may be toned down, but the quality and boldness will still be there.
The collection is available from the 17th February and will most certainly have an impact on the highstreet. Look out for Mary at London Fashion Week, even though it won't be too tricky.
