Above are images from Mary Katrantzou's Spring 2012 line. She is a fashion inspiration to me, especially for her use of color and prints. This season Katrantzou was inspired by crushed-car sculptures of the American artist John Chamberlain, tin-can labels, pictures of tropical fish, and found fields of daisies and tulips. She designs all her own computer generated prints that transform into primarily cocktail and event wear. Her ambition is to make both art and the wearable, which is a goal I am constantly aiming for. There is a line between being too much of a costume and being wearable and when designers can create that artistic fantasy that women can look fabulous in, I think that is truly being successful.
