Mary Karantzou Spring/Summer 2012 RTW
//While the established fashion houses are reliably good and seldomly fail to provide quality and style, I often find the newer designers such as Peter Pilotto and Mary Katranzou most exciting. Mary is a Central Saint Martins graduate that also studied architechture, before moving on to interior prints and then fashion prints. She´s won some pretty prestigious awards, did a collection for Topshop and has been in Vogue, Grazia and Dazed & Confused...all this since launching her first prêt-à-porter collection in 2008!
//I love her bold colours, cuts and prints in the 2012 collection, but I think I almost prefer the slightly softer 2011 spring collection (see below), which very clearly shows her architecture and interior design influences (note the lampshade skirts and architechture prints). I feel like buildings used in colourful prints and skirts inspired by lampshades should be a total disaster, but together with the beautifully structured cuts they make for stunning and very wearable dresses...
