VS x Mary Katrantzou
Mary Katrantzou just celebrated her 10th anniversary show during London Fashion Week and now she will be unveiling a capsule collection this November with Victoria’s Secret. Uh huh yeah, the chick that can turn the print of anything into an amazing garment. A pencil, typewriter, some hedges. “My work is about perception and perspective and filtering beauty through design to allow women to stand out. I wanted to turn that on its head and look at the ‘foundation’ that we wear as women, underneath the clothes I usually design in my collections. Underwear is the first protective layer that has the ability to reinforce a woman’s confidence,” says Katrantzou. “I wanted the collection to be colorful and uplifting, bold, and strong. It’s designed to empower women to have fun with their undergarments and feel free to explore pattern and color as a second skin,” she tells Vogue. “The pieces can be worn as undergarments or as actual clothing, so all the fabrications have dual purpose. I wanted to stay true to our brand heritage, so pattern and color are integral to the collection, but we always kept the Victoria’s Secret girl central to the design process. There’s a nod to silhouettes that we’ve developed in past collections, but there are also new silhouettes that we designed with VS in mind.“
This is going to be amazing! I was excited about VSxBalmain, VSxKatrantzou is going to be just as epic.
