Last day of LFW is always bittersweet… Early morning start at the topshop venue (a favorite this season!) Fighting the traffic… I got there in time for a banana muffin and latte. Mary Katrantzou‘s show was one I was very much looking forward to – as a fan of her previous collections, I was looking forward to seeing this one and wondered what prints she would be coming out with – crayola inspired? The invitation had a picture of crayola crayons…  This collection included key trends such as structured silhouettes and prints (both are Katrantzou’s signature) as well as sequins, embellishments and peplums – with a palette that started off with pastels and ended with brights of reds and blues. For this collection, Mary was the first london based designer to work with French atelier, Lesage, I especially loved the swarovski crystals on the dresses!
