Walk the Walk: Mary Katrantzou F/W 2014 Collection

If you are a fan of Mary Katrantzou, you must know that she is famous for her digital prints. However, in this coming season, she has decided to leave this element behind and move on to a new direction: patches.

Even though digital prints are no longer the main force in this collection, the clothes still contain the aesthetic of the brand. Mary uses the patches to create playful figures and patterns, and they create an interesting contract again the elegant silhouettes. There are also a few metal pieces I think will become major focus points for the upcoming magazine editorials. Overall, the entire collection is refreshing, youthful, and innovative.

If this is the new beginning of the brand, I can promise Mary's career as a fashion designer will continue to last for many years. We are just waiting for her to create another milestone for the London fashion scene.

Pros:
- Mary Katrantzou has left her digital prints kingdom behind and now she is exploring the use of patches. It's a risky move, but the collection shows the designer can do no wrong.
- The designer mixes heraldic emblems and modern symbols to create a very interesting contrast.
- If you miss Mary's digital prints, you still get to see the leopard print garments in this collection.
- I like the fact that the collection is more focused on the techniques of creating those pieces.

Cons:
- It would be interesting to see these patches on accessories, such as clutches, pins and bags.

Eye Candies:
- The "transformer" collaged dress
- Gown with men's symbols
- The metal dress
