Ready-to-wear: Amazing prints!!

I don't know how to describe my feeling when I see Mary Katrantzou's 2011 spring/summer collection, "Oh my dear god!, it's fantastic!" Maybe that's only thing I can say. This is definitely one of my favourite shows of the London fashion week so far. For me, this collection is wearable and unwearable at the same time. Most of the designs are very simple, but creative at the same time, the designer just keep playing with the prints which was inspired by the interior design. However, everyone will say :" Wow!" when they see the lampshade skirt and some interior fabric. It's so crazy! (in a good way) And I am so in love with the little beads texture, and the candlestick like necklace as well. After all, I am so in love in this collection. Simple, creative, fresh, playful, in conclusion, it's amazing~!

The interior print which is amazing. The color of this collection trend to be very light and colourful.

The lambshape skirts are the most important element of the whole show. And, all of them are not the same. The rifht side image shows 4 different lambshapes.

The straight cutting of the dress is very special.

When the modle walking, the chiffon of both side floating on the air, it brings the garment the elegant feeling. It's a very beautiful design.

I love the candlestick like necklace!! This is the designer's signature design as well, it appear in every season!

Last season's candlestick like necklace. The color is gold and silver, and this season's necklace is only in silver, and more simple than before.

Comapre with Mary's last season's collection, both of them are base on prints. But the color of this season's collection is a lot lighter than the last one, and the prints are more representational. There are more different types of fabric of this season as well, the shape is more exaggerate than last one. At the same time, in personal, I think this collection is less wearable than the last one.

Alexandra McQueen:
There are also some very interesting print garments in Alexandra McQueen's collection as well. Even there are not many, but it still impress me.

The prints of this collection are lots of flowers. The color tone is quite "heavy", in personal, I prefer Mary Katrantzou's print. But I think the shape of McQueen is more creative.
