The only way I can describe Mary Katrantzou's prints are through a little dropping of my jay accompanied by slight drooling. Her prints probably have a similar effect on most of us who have been following her collections for a while. They are impeccably intricate yet put together in an easy fashion, to make it look so simple yet at a closer look, simply brilliant. She has proved herself not just a master of prints but structure as well.
Her Ideal Client:
"“She has a liberated spirit and a strong sense of style"
Her Trademark Piece:
“A dress inspired by the filtered beauty in design, mapped around the female figure.”
Bring student of Architecture and Fashion she combines the two worlds with beautiful ease and fluency.
Torriane Humes describes her sense of artistic illusion:
"All her clothing work as optical illusions. you will see a girl walk down the runway wearing a giant necklace, but on further inspection find that it is actually a design printed on the dress, or you might see some fancy bracelets you're interested in then realize those aren't real either. This is one of the main attributes of Katrantzou's clothing"
