Mary Katrantzou today offered a statement Spring 2017 collection characterised by bold colours, psychedelic prints and Ancient Egyptian-inspired motifs. 

In a palette of marine blue, yellow, maroon and white, the first few looks featured loosely structured tunics and dresses that glowed with a jagged, geometric pattern. Hieroglyphs and stylised, Ancient Egypt-inspired images were emblazoned across the chest, their stark and simplified forms offering a contrast with the busy patterning.lfw-ss17-mary-katrantzou-krisztian-pinter-the-upcoming-1The hieroglyph theme ran throughout the collection, transformed into vibrant repeating patterns that zig-zagged across form-fitting dresses and tailored jackets. lfw-ss17-mary-katrantzou-krisztian-pinter-the-upcoming-11Elsewhere, oversized sequins arranged themselves into endlessly repeating patterns, or else radiated in eye-boggling ways from a medallion-like motif at the waist.

Some of the strongest pieces came towards the end of the show, when Katrantzou offered a range of full-length gowns with peplum waists. Many were (relatively) simple, featuring an embroidered dove offering an olive branch to a simplified outline of a woman’s face.lfw-ss17-mary-katrantzou-krisztian-pinter-the-upcoming-25The dove image reappeared at the neck of a black and marine blue dress, and then again across the chest of a striking black gown with a slim, multi-tiered skirt. lfw-ss17-mary-katrantzou-krisztian-pinter-the-upcoming-27A strong and distinctive set of clothes that prove just how far Katrantzou has come from the floral prints and textiles of her early career.
