Mary Katrantzou Fall 2015

by The Daily Front Row

Bizarre fabrications, like cushy foam-rubber (which matched the bubblegum-hued runway), plastic, and spiky glass filaments trimmed most looks in Mary Katrantzou‘s high-concept latest collection. The theme was a mashup of modern-day minimalism and Victorian-era horror vacui (fear of empty spaces) and the packrat-ish clutter that ensues, according to Style.com’s Tim BlanksThat strange conceit explains the always-creative Katrantzou’s somber black pieces finished with small bits of the odd aforementioned materials, and the colorful, drop-waisted brocade shifts sporting bright rubber belting. Feminine, flippy flamenco-esque hems and a sweetheart neckline or two balanced out the boxier shapes elsewhere in the collection. Katrantzou is proving she’s got plenty of ways to grab our attention beyond those trademark photorealism prints.
