Mary Katrantzou – happily making fashion history repeat itself
Celebrating her label's 10-year anniversary with a swanky showbiz party in London this weekend, fashion’s ‘Queen of Print’, Mary Katrantzou and Matches Fashion launched their exclusive ten-piece capsule of archive pieces from the British designer’s most famous collections at London’s hottest new arts venue, 5 Carlos Place.
Featuring a re-released piece for every year of her career, kicking off with the black Shalimar perfume bottle print dress that was the first look on Mary’s debut AW09 runway show, the collection offers dedicated fashionistas a chance to own one of her most famous, signature pieces – perfect if they missed out on snapping up one of her iconic designs the first time around.
Showcased at an exclusive Mayfair townhouse, guests including Princess Beatrice of York, Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert, Jasmine Hemsley, Mimi Xu, Martha Ward, Sandra Choi and Sophie Goodwin were treated to a sneak piece of the collection, as they enjoyed rainbow-toned tipples and a selection of colourful canapes by Cellar Society, all inspired by the collection.
The Mary Katrantzou exclusive and main collections are available on MATCHESFASHION.COM now.
