there's something about mary katrantzou



Okay, I admit it: I have a problem. I thought I could stop posting LFW shots, but I can't. There must be a word for people like me. I've now dug into another strata, and am now going thru the actual exhibitors' shots. It's like going thru another portal, and I CAN'T NOT POST THIS STUFF.



It was the strangest sensation, in the days after fashion week ended, even while seeing 500 Days of Summer, I found my right index finger twitching: I was photographing scenes while watching a film! It's like after you've been sailing for a week: dry land keeps on rocking. Or as a kid after a day in the waves, and at night it feels like you're still in the sea.



When I stumbled in on Mary Katrantzou's exhibit, it was set up so cleanly, I just went WOW. Seated on a chair was a woman I thought was Mary, but it was actually her mom. I wanted to shoot her but she moved out of the shot for me - she was just so nice, so modest. If you want to see the clothes on, go to the link and click on collections. I just love it: it's like Christopher Kane's crocodile meets Alexander McQueen's bold prints from s/s 2009, but there's more to it. I just love her stuff: it's so not my typical, Virgo style, but she's really thinking outside the box. And I think they'd all work so well with the previous post's black peep toe suede booties!

What do you think? Love it? Hate it? Indifferent? What shoes would you wear with one of her dresses?
