Haut Couture’s Queen Of Digital Print, Mary Katrantzou, Shows Her New Resort Collection For 2021
Discover Mary Katrantzou’s year-round resort collection, MARY-MARE with summer dresses, kaftans and swimwear.
It’s the designer’s first seasonless, size-inclusive and charitable collection.
Known for her love of kaleidoscopic digital prints and colours, Mary Katrantzou‘s whimsical approach to female fashion has always been a delight both to the eyes and to the heart.
But there’s been more to the designer’s mind beyond the design itself.
Her epic 10th-anniversary show in tribute to her home country just last year pioneered a new way of thinking — not only about the clothes but also on how to really make an impact and connect with the world through them.
With that, Katrantzou has just launched Mary-Mare: an all-year-round resort wear capsule collection that is seasonless and, most importantly, size-inclusive.
The collection features day-to-night dresses, free-flowing kaftans and beachwear, showcasing graphic seashell prints and illustrated postage stamps that depict exotic sun-drenched destinations — such as Cannes, Monte Carlo and Venice — that we want to be at right now.
On top of ready-to-wear pieces, there are also accessories including beach towels, tote bags, oversized raffia hats in rainbow shades or wrapped with silk scarves, as well as a limited edition series of Superga sneakers to complete your summer look.
Postage stamps from exotic destinations & graphic jungle prints are emblazoned on natural fabrics such as cotton, linen and silk to create the perfect summer wardrobe.
This season's MARY-MARE collection offers you a plethora of new ways to embrace colour and print whilst travelling or spending summer in the city.
Discover summer staples, from day-to-night dresses to oversized kaftans, created in natural fabrics such as cotton poplin, linen and silk twill.
The Animal Postage Stamp print is inspired by flora and fauna from exotic destinations.
Alluding to the nostalgia of writing postcards to our loved ones while on vacation and interpreted through the lens of the pop art movement, it is a must-have for your summer wardrobe.
