Mary Katrantzou Fall 2012 RTW
//I wasn´t really going to review the fall shows quite yet, simply because it is far too hot here in Cape Town to be thinking about fall and in any case, there is a slight lag in trends reaching the fashion crowd not to mention the large lag in reaching the masses and the gigantic lag until it has reached the southern hemisphere...
//Anyhow, Mary Katrantzou blew my mind so much that I threw all principles out the window. Take a moment to look at the clothing carefully. It is so difficult to define exactly what is so magical about it, somehow her style is so elusive. It has a sort of subtle, psychedelic grecian feel to it. The prints are intricate and detailed without being too complicated, the colours are bright without being garish, and this time around she experimented more than ever with shapes and the effect is etheral... Compare with her previous shows here ...she is getting even better in my opinion-certainly on her way to superstardom.
