London Fashion Week: Mary Katrantzou is (nearly) all symmetry to me

As I watched Mary Katrantzou’s show for Spring/Summer 2013, I couldn’t help but think of postage stamp edging and jigsaw puzzles. She has some wonderful symmetrical patterns within her fabrics. Dresses and trousers often floated out to create an A-line shape. The top halves of the outfits were very modest, generous in cut and high necked in most cases, except for the occasional strapless number. Most dresses also covered the knees. A couple of metallic offerings, including a trouser suit, stood out from the attractive creamy, pastels and black collection.
