Mary Katrantzou

 Below are images from the Autumn/Winter 2012 collection taken from the Greek Fashion Designer Mary Katrantzou, who is currently living and working in Britain - thank god because her work is unreal, taking prints and patterns and structuring them into delicate masterpieces on the catwalk.
This is by far her best collection and goes perfectly with this seasons trend of opulent, over the top prints, not only that but she's brought feminine simplistic shapes back to the runway, letting the print take all the attention and focus from the piece. Owning one of these dresses would be a dream, although it would mean saving quite a bit as one piece starts from around £270 - £1,465 (on sale currently in Harvey Nichols); which is surprisingly not as high as I thought?

Lastly my favourite reason for being so madly obsessed and truly in love with this designer is the way she actually structures her signature pieces, using unusual objects that to us would not even be considered to be used on any type of clothing clothing, objects such as spoons, typewriter keys, clothing hangers, phone dials and for one dress she even embroider it all with yellow pencils. This is one designer I think will be getting more well known both this and next year, especially from the incredible collection she's produced this season, so have your eyes out on the look out for her work, as for me I'm just praying the high street snaps up and takes some inspiration before I do.
