For 2016,

metallics

continue on favoured fashion status-

generating a “razzmatazz’ factor to any article of clothing.

 

 

Of shine, sparkle and shimmer quality

metallic pieces

are of visual and textural interest.

 

Add a glam and glow metallics feature piece

as a wardrobe essential;

pair with a contrasting material type for

a modern look of mixed fabrication.

 

 

Go with the Glow Flow

metallics generate full visual impact.

The four ‘E-s’ and designer Mary Katrantzou for a/w 2014

autumn/winter 2014, London Fashion Week - a/w 2014, Mary Katrantzou, shoe boots, symbols as identifiers, three-dimensional design

A  fashion decree from the queen of digital print –

proclaims the four E-s:

explore, experiment, expand, evolve  …

and Mary Katrantzou has done just that

for a/w 2014.

…

(image from zimbio.com):

designer Mary Katrantzou

…

Showing at London Fashion Week,

Ms. Katrantzou proves again that she is a creative par excellence.

Taking a step away from print and architectural elements,

her a/w collection features symbols as signifiers:

heraldic arms, scout badges, business strips

traffic signage, store adverts –

all combined in chaotic patterning.

The result: collage effect, innovative visuals

…

Fabrication choices allowed for

flow, movement, regal posture

a definite shift from previous collections.

which were structural in intent.

…

The over-all inspired chain mesh dresses

with metal hearts, rings and things

added an aspect of the unexpected.

…

Ms. Katrantzou continues to intrigue …

The Collection
