I was reminded of the fantastico designs of Mary Katrantzou today. Her designs are like symmetrical collages of industrial and mechanical components, with an almost photo-real look about them. Some parts of the designs are printed and some are real jewellery. I’m really interested in what shes going to come up with next, as I love the collection she made for her CSM MA show, as well as the more current perfume bottle-inspired collection. I like the trompe l’oeil effect – the blur between 3D and 2D.
