Once upon a time there was a girl who started to collect
stamps and different kind of money during her trips around
the world.
She dreamed about how she can use this certain things to
create something....
“For that child, a stamp, a banknote were small passports to
an exotic otherness. Or maybe they were instruments connecting cultures. As
borders changed and currencies became obsolete, stamps and banknotes lingered
as tokens of the past, literal souvenirs of the values of other, lost cultures.”-style.com
As Mary Katrantzou said
in her interview “I wasn’t looking at
something that has a 3D nature it was more about geometric pattern, painting on
brocades, textures and forms that are easy so people can wear. “
When I first saw the designs it came to my mind Magna
Graecia and in general Greece. As I come from there and I saw this beautiful
meandros prints upon the dresses combined with all this beautiful postage and
banknotes.. Seriously, I was stunned!
As Topshop writes
on the blog the collection in 5 words is :
iconic, breathtakingly
ornate, dazzling, luxurious
Well.. While I was looking on the runway video and then the pictures.. I was thinking.. If I was there and something would told me pick one and you can have it which one would it be??!!
Hmm I think I would go for that one !! on the picture below! But seriously its a really tough decision!! ;)
