23rd February 2011

Catwalk images from Style.com; LFW Day 5; 22/02/2011;

Oh man I don’t usually do this but this is le amazing. (Bold, italics and underline amazing) I didn’t get to see the show because they don’t invite losers like me (I promise that line is my catchphrase during LFW), but I visited the Topshop Newgen rooms in Somerset House and invited myself to touching each of the pieces. Then I gushed to the lady there that Mary Katrantzou was probably my all-time favourite and she gave me that ‘OK?’ look. Clearly not getting invited again next season.

Ah this collection just makes me want to graffiti ‘I <3 Mary’ inside Chinatown restaurant toilets.

    Prints are really not my cup of tea, but I must say that the ones that Mary K create is pretty darn amazing. I really do like the bold silhouettes as well ♥

    how beautiful everything is! those boots belong to the kind of footwear that makes you happy only looking at it.

    and no – you’re not a loser. quite the contrary: who in this vain fashion world would keep on gushing about a collection when they haven’t been invited to the show? and then you have fashion bloggers who get all excited about an average collection only because they were invited to the show. (but i don’t blame them – never been to any kind of fashion show. so, am I the loser here?) :) anyway – nice close-ups!

    I really don’t understand how she makes all of these elements work together, but somehow she does. Theoretically it should all just give me a migraine, but in reality I want to see more!

    This is rather amazing indeed! It reminds me of the azulejos tileworks; and combined with the flowerprint it makes an eclectic look that’s still one.

    Oh yes… This is a rare form of happy marriage between patterns such as Chinese porcelain plates and the bedding of Marie Antoinette’s at the Palace of Versailles.

    I love this collection too! But it probably has something to do with our asian roots.

    these are works of art <3

    oh and great blog too, I have just discovered it and glad that i did :)

    Hi Shini,

    Jealous that you actually got to see these pieces in real life! Yet another designer who has hopped on the “chinese influences” bandwagon huh?
    I must admit that although her designs feel a little cliche (dragons, prints reminiscent of porcelain vases, blatant references to chinese architecture…) but the structured silhouette is just too nice to dismiss.
    Oh and her ability to print mix. Just wow.
