LONDON FASHION WEEK FAVORITES

Fashion and Design
Written By Leila Antakly

Once again I fall in love with Erdem and Mary Katrantzou's collections from London Fashion Week SS12.

  • ERDEM Drawing inspiration from Bonjour Tristesse, a bittersweet tragedy set in the French Riviera, and Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood For Love, Erdem set the mood once again with a beautiful collection of floral prints, sheer lace overlays, and elegant silhouettes.

  • Mary Katrantzou continues to deliver– combining technology with gorgeous nature motifs. Inspired by John Chamberlain‘s crushed-car sculptures, the designer incorporated metal into her collection with actual pieces of tin appliqued to the fabrics creating a "Garden of Eden vs. Industrial Forms" them for SS12.
