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.

Fashion: Mary Katrantzou’s clothes erupt on the catwalk
23 FebThere were a number of times when I gasped and swooned at the delectable combination of patterns and fitted or flouncing frocks at the London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter show from Mary Katrantzou. Her collection is for anyone who likes a little excitement in their clothes. You can’t really be a wilting wallflower in the corner with her bright blue, green, yellow and red prints. The fabric designs were wonderfully striking and sure to liven up those short days of winter and very long nights. Makes me wish I’d splashed out on her Top Shop collection last week but my favourite item was the first dress to sell out.
