MARY KATRANTZOU SS11

Starting off the first post with the Greek designer Mary Katrantzou and her SS11 collection  “c’ est ci nes pas une chambre” (This Is Not A Room). Known as the the Queen of hyperrealism, I found her surrealist prints and the structured lampshade skirts very interesting and one-of-a-kind. The inspirations behind this collection came from graphic interior fashion shoots of Guy Bourdin and Helmut Newton to the interior architecture from the grandeur of the white house and to the glamour of 70s east coast hotel rooms. Pretty amazing, huh? Turning interior designs into fashion designs.

打頭炮為大家介紹的是希臘設計師Mary Katrantzou和她SS11 collection “c’ est ci nes pas une chambre” (這不是一間房)。 被喻為寫實主義繪畫(hyperrealism)皇后, 我喜愛她今季的圖案，非常有創意, 她設計的燈罩裙更是獨一無二！她的設計慨念來自Guy Bourdin 和 Helmut Newton的室內設計攝影，富麗堂皇的白宮室內建築及70年代東岸酒店房間。她將室內設計融入時裝設計，厲害吧？

Loving this lampshade skirt with fringe details, the visual effect of the fringes moving is just brilliant.
這條燈罩裙加上流蘇設計，流蘇跟著裙襬，給人一流的視覺效果。

Looks like the curtain come to life in this dress, isn't it? 

Also the colours palette of this outfit is so harmonic.
裙上的窗簾活靈活現，這條連身裙的配色也非常和諧。

This is my favourite piece in the whole collection, the structured black and gold shoulder design caught my eye instantly. To wow you even more, the angled pelmet techniques techniques used in curtain making was employed in making this shoulder details. And the colour blocking of pink and green brings a summer-vibe.

這是整個collection中我最愛的設計。最吸引我的是金色配黑色的結構膊頭設計，她用了做窗簾的angled pelmet技巧弄的。粉紅色撞綠色更顯夏日氣色！

Although Mary Katranzou is a relatively new designer, her use of patterns and colours in her collections is innovative and unique. I am definitely following this designer and can't wait for her next collection.

雖然 Mary Katranzou是新進的設計師，她的用色和圖案設計非常創新和獨特。我一定會繼續留意她的設計！
