Mark Fast & Mary Katrantzou / Spring 2010 / London Fashion Week

My favorite part of fashion month is finally here! With New York consistently missing the mark on most of its collections (Proenza looked like Lisa Frank, Wang changed his game, and Marc now for the fifth season’s been the over-hyped joke), some heavily-needed originality is saved for the UK’s ’25th Fashion Week Anniversary’. London always provides the new. I’ve already professed my love for English designers Mark Fast and Mary Katrantzou last season, so it’s no surprise I’m down with their latest collections which strongly follow on the tails of their breakthrough signature looks. This time around, Katrantzou used her high-def digi-prints to evoke Peter Phillips’ op-pop gloss. Fast opted for expanding on his tight-knits with plus-size models going in for the squeeze. Fast’s model’s Coke bottle shapes complimented his constrained-fit dresses perfectly, proving his attention to the human body is more than just a love affair. Peep both of the collection’s highlights below…
