I haven’t done a girl crush post in a while and this one is really a girl *clothes* crush.
Let me explain, Im not in anyway a fashionista, which won’t surprise anyone on Twitter where I once spelt Michael Kors with a “C” , oh the shame !… Anyway, I live in the “shire” with mostly old folk and moppy haired teens. So fashion is not a huge part of my life, but I have fallen in love with Mary Katrantzou’s work.
I think if I could only buy one designer dress in my entire life ( here’s hoping! ) it would be one of hers. She uses pattern like an artist and her clothes are like pieces of art in the way Zandra Roodes early pieces were. I love the lampshade skirts and the long dresses, and the boxy little jackets. But most of all I love the glorious, riotous, wonderful prints. Inspired by Fabergé egg’s, Ming vases, and trompe l’oeil , her pieces really do trick the eye, in an almost otherworldly way….
Sigh… the girls a genius, and shes Greek ! so quite frankly brilliant, and refreshing! I’m in love!
What do you think, are you in on my girl crushing? Seems a few twinkly stars are ….

Very pretty x
Isn’t it just ! X
Oh my word I am completely in love! They are truly pieces of art. And I’m even less qualified as a fashionista as I’ve never even heard of her before now
Noooo, your much more fashiony than me wifey
she is quite the *new darling* by all accounts . I only noticed her work when “window shopping” online, then saw Keira in that long swishy number at Venice film festival and that was it, looooove

Love the amazing Mary Katrantzou – such beautiful prints and always a catwalk spectacle – it was one of the tickets that I applied for and really hoped, fingers crossed that I would get. Alas not to be – apparently they are like gold dust! This is so you and you need one of her dresses in your life! Loved this post! xxxx
Thanku very much my lovely stylish one
cheap modern artwork ?! Kinda x
*beams* so glad you liked it. And oh yes, can u imagine actually owning one her dresses?! I might just hang it on the wall . Was actually thinking of buying one of her beautiful scarves to do just that
Love this post! And I never have time to think about fashion anymore. I used to be totally obsessed with it before I had kids and now I’m more interested in finding a Misha Lulu dress for Ruby! Shame! I’m going to Dublin for the weekend and am looking forward to some kiddie free shopping time! Yay! My girl crushes would definitely include Nicole Richie and Zooey Deschanel
Take care H xxx
