We were blown away by Mary Katrantzou’s Spring 2011 Collection. Her dresses make it appear as if you are wearing a mural! They really are like nothing we have ever seen before! The colors are vibrant and the various styles and fits are plentiful. Many of the digital print designs on the dresses look like the interiors of exquisite homes and hotels. You really have to see it for yourself to appreciate the uniqueness of Mary Katrontzou. All the dresses are printed with images of lavish hotel and stateroom interiors—and embellished with interior-decorator braid, tassels, and fringe trimmings. She’d digitalized photos from vintage copies of Architectural Digest and The World of Interiors while enhancing the color and taking advantage of the intricacies of home furnishings. Her dresses in the Spring 2011 collection are a bit pricey ($900+) but they are certainly beautiful to look at!
The whole world has been ranting and raving over the royal engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Replicas of Middleton’s engagement ring have been sweeping the globe! A dress she wore in November to match her gigantic and gorgeous sapphire engagement ring has sold out in stores all over the world. “Waity Katie” has become a fashion icon for women all over the world. It seems as if anything she wears becomes the next “It Outfit.” The gown she chooses to wear at her April wedding will surely be replicated by designers and in high demand in all countries! Her refined yet classy look is how young girls aspire to dress. The big gowns and tiaras are clearly out of style! We look forward to more of Kate Middleton’s clothes and accessories in the future!
