Mary Katrantzou Catwalk Fashion Show London Womenswear SS2019

It’s been a decade since Mary Katrantzou first started out. Time to celebrate! And so she did. But Katrantzou didn’t reflect on those ten years. She wanted newness and so she came up with a fresh take on the signature look she created over the years. “Collecting” is the theme for SS2019 covering a mix of Katrantzou’s most favorite silhouettes, techniques and most recognizable prints and images. The structured silhouettes (A-line, column, circular) were impeccable. The details (embroidered flowers, shiny beads and sequins) looked exquisite. The color palette (of bright ombre shades) was as impressive as always. She turned butterflies, stamps, insects, perfume bottles and works of art into dazzling digital prints. There were veils, head wraps and caps as Jimmy Choo worked out a matching shoe game. Almost too much prettiness to take in in only fifteen minutes of showtime. 10 year anniversary pieces most certainly deserve a second and a closer look.
