Marni for H&M




After Versace resort wear and David Beckham's undies now it's Marni's turn to excite H&M fans. The spring collection (womenswear and menswear) is going to hit stores in March 8 and alongside the Mary Katrantzou for Topshop collection they will be the hits of the season.
  According to the Italian House's founder Consuelo Castiglioni, the collection will showcase a new version of the House's favourite pieces ( pleated skirts, dresses, printed T-shirts, cropped trousers, jacquard knits and the trademark conical hats) in signature fabrics and prints including bright colours and all-over prints combined with sporty utilitarian elements. 
 So far, the whole thing sounds to me way better than the Versace collection, which, in the end, was not actually my cup of tea.

 Some of the 4th day shows were posted yesterday, but here is the main part...
I just want to say that not every show is included, but only those I liked the most or I found more interesting. As for the pictures, I also choose the one that I like the most in every show. For a whole collection access though you can visit Style.com...

Mary Katrantzou for Topshop




Here is a good reason for a two-day-trip to London. On Friday February 17th Topshop launches their S/S 2012 designer collaboration with the Greek London Fashion Week favourite designer Mary Katrantzou.
Mary's first Prêt-à-porter collection was shown at the A/W London Fashion Week 2008 and her eye-catching prints gained immediately the audience.
  So far, the designer has collaborated with the top shoe designer Christian Louboutin, who made the shoes for her A/W11 runway show, Topshop (first time) in 2010 and finally with the French fashion brand Longchamp. 
 This 9-piece collection is her first capsule one for Topshop and includes Chinese porcelain vase - like prints -coming of her F/W11 mainline- on short-hem dresses and skirts, tailored trousers, T-shirts, blouses, scarves as well as a limited collection of nail designs.
