London Fashion Week S/S 2012
Mary Katrantzou
Promising petal, metal and of course print, Mary Katrantzou channelled the beautiful and brutal sculptures of John Chamberlain and contrasted all that crushed car metal with nature. Photographic prints and complex knit jacquards featuring metal drums, bolts, car parts and tin cans met cherry blossoms, fields of flowers, coral and other marine life – all on a single dress. This is Katrantzou's thing, and she uses a kind of puzzle of pattern pieces to construct deceivingly simple garments out of gloriously clashing pattern. The finished 'man meets machine meets Mother Earth' effect is a highly successful maximalist visual feast
