Mary Katrantzou - The art of print

I man said to me once that the usage of print in fashion is just a fad. Everything comes and goes and print will come to the end of its cycle again. My reaction first reaction was stunned silence. How can a man be so narrow minded about he evolution of fashion? My next reaction was to pity this man when it dawned on me that he didn't have the skill to create such beautiful art work, hand drawn or digital. Therefore  took upon himself to shun the world of the print artists.

Yes the style of print goes round in cycles. Digital print is still swimming at the peak of its cycle. With, personally, Mary Katrantzou as the leader for this seasons A/W 11 collection. Lets celebrate the beauty that is being spilled on to the catwalks and anticipate what is to come next for the print world.

'The woman in the room' is the core idea for this collection. Katrantzou imagines the woman as a connoisseur, surrounded by beautiful objects.

This collection to me proves that it is possible to combine any colour combination, pattern and theme together. Of course great skill  and hard work allows these beautiful combinations to collaborated.  Mary Katrantzou's collection proves, in my opinion, that fashion produces two of the key ingredients every human mind needs. 

Beauty and art. Everything else follows after this.
