Mary Katrantzou is currently blowing our fine lace socks off. The Greek-born designer rose to icon status after her digital print creations opened the CMS graduate show in 2008. Since then she has become one of the must-see designers at London Fashion Week.
Many of you probably recognise Mary K from her recent collection for Topshop, in which fantasy-like floral patterns and exotic bird prints excited even the most critical minds.
However, it is her collaboration with luxury French label Longchamp that has set tongues wagging.
The line of limited edition totes materialises Katrantzou's take on the theme "When East Meets West", and portrays psychadelic infusions of eastern and western architecture. As can be expected from a Katrantzouian collection, dimension and elaborate colour contrasts battle for visual supremecy, yet in the end, both win equal glorification.
The Mary Katrantzou for Longchamp collection is now available in Arnotts, with prices ranging from €61 to €365.
