Mary Katrantzou
Designer: Mary Katrantzou

• “Impeccable structure turned Katrantzou’s prints 3D, while out-of-character etched black leather proved a satisfying palette cleanser.” [The Cut/New York Magazine]
• “The somewhat darker palette of grays, blacks, and golds was a lovely departure from the neon hues in the designer’s Spring collection, though the selection of striking, unconventional pieces remained the same.” [FabSugar]
• “A collection that was as powerful and moody as storm clouds gathering on a gray Winter day.” [fashionologie]
• “Marvellously melancholy.” [FT.com]
• “Ms. Katrantzou’s show was one of those heart-stopping moments when fashion goes beyond the commercial or the attractive to embrace art.” [International Herald Tribune]
• “Her show notes introduced the idea that this might be a more restrained collection. Katrantzou the…*shudder*…reductionist? Heavens forbid. … It takes a lot of to restrain yourself from going further and adding more when you’re as talented, imaginative and technology-adept as Katrantzou clearly is.” [SHOWstudio]
• “Color or no, Katrantzou’s fantastical, shadowy landscapes still seduced, with the added poignant allure of the melancholy that inevitably attaches itself to misty monochrome.” [Style.com]
• “It seemed Mary Katrantzou deliberately threw herself at everything that doesn’t come naturally to her this season: dourness of color, reduction of print, absence of trompe l’oeil wit.” [Vogue.com]
• “A new darker, sophisticated and slightly sinister direction.” [Vogue.com UK]
• “Whether on the back of a PR girl’s clipboard or on the willowy frame of a Russian blogger, Mary Katrantzou’s kaleidoscopic, photo-based prints are unmistakable–and can be overwhelming. Which is why her fall collection … should open her fashion universe to a broader clientele, including the still-enamored-with-black fashion pack.” [WWD]
