Mary Katrantzou



I really admire Mary Katrantzou as a designer. Her use of colour is always exciting and her print designs dynamic and absorbing. I think her work is a particularly good example of print in fashion; the print placement works harmoniously with the shape of the garments.

Inspired by Mary Katrantzou, I wanted to create some samples that have a sense of perspective; to give my work depth and reflect my theme of trails and tracks.

I feel the digital design is the more successful, the image had a nice quality to begin with and I could achieve a subtle blending of colours using photoshop. I could imagine this print on a garment or as a stand alone piece.
