Mary Katrantzou – Fall 2013

In this collection Mary plays with perspective. The prints allow the clothes to be pushed back into space, creating two different visual dimensions: the clothes and the wearer. Being an artist myself I appreciated how Katrantzou incorporated painting techniques into her designs. Here are my favorite looks from the collection:
