NEW IN STORE: MARY KATRANTZOU AW12


Arriving in the South West for the first time is the statement collection from Mary Katrantzou. Exclusively available in store now, the A/W12 range features structured dresses and kaleidoscopic blouses emblazoned with vivid prints.

Renowned for her intelligent use of illusory digital patterns, Mary’s inspiration comes from the art of trompe l'oeil. The Central Saint Martins graduate's eye-catching designs, bold graphics and use of hyper-real prints have ensured her pieces are some of this season’s most sought after.

Her instantly identifiable prints have fast become a red carpet favourite and are regularly spotted on celebrities including like Keira Knightley, Alexa Chung and Claudia Schiffer.

Last year, the Athens-born designer was recognised for her use of vibrant patterns and cutting edge design when she received the Emerging Talent Award at British Fashion Awards.

Mary Katrantzou’s A/W12 Collection is available from the First Floor womenswear department at Harvey Nichols Bristol.
