Source of inspiration: Mary Katrantzou spring-summer collection

Once upon a time, many children were fond of collecting stamps or foreign banknotes and coins that possessed a mysterious charm. Now borders are changing and currencies are becoming obsolete, so such items are becoming souvenirs, reminiscent of lost cultures. Their melancholy, romance and beauty have become sources of inspiration for the new Mary Katrantzou collection. The designer has already proven that she can create the most unusual prints, but at the spring-summer show she presented truly flawless patterns. This was facilitated by the original two-dimensionality possessed by banknotes and stamps, so the prints looked very natural.

The silhouettes in the Mary Katrantzou collection are quite straight: here you can see trapezoidal styles, shirt dresses and sheath dresses that have become excellent canvases for patterns. So, the jagged edges of the stamps perfectly complemented the narrow cut of the trousers. The swirls and spirals characteristic of banknotes perfectly fit into the design of a pantsuit made of dark blue brocade with sparkling lurex. This stunning outfit demonstrated how accurately Mary Katranzu can abstract from sources of inspiration when creating her clothes.

It is also worth noting the masterful use of materials: at the end of the show, original ensembles were presented, combining brocade in a metallic scale and mesh fabrics with Swarovski crystals, decorated with prints in the form of banknotes. The process of making such clothes was incredibly complicated, but the result was poetic outfits in the Byzantine style. It was the first time the fashion designer had worked with denim, and these products, presented at the beginning of the show, did not look at all like the usual denim clothes.

The palette of Mary Katrantzou's spring-summer collection includes lavender, cream, yellow, aquamarine, ink, coral and blue shades. The designer offers trapezoidal skirts, straight blouses, skinny trousers, elongated shirt dresses with flared hemlines, pantsuits with oversized jackets, trapezoidal dresses with contrasting trim, tailored jeans with prints, impressive evening dresses with Swarovski crystals. For sewing Mary Katrantzou's clothes, silk brocade, parachute nylon, silk and cotton twill, metallic brocade and jacquard silk were chosen. The ensembles were complemented with multi-colored patent ankle boots with stilettos.
