Mary Katrantzou enchanted everyone with her Spring 2010 Ready-To-Wear collection.

Digital art has been pervading and encompassing every single art form from illustrations and theatrical performances to fashion. Since Basso & Brooke started experimenting with digital print a few years ago, young designer Mary Katrantzou used it as her main medium for her colourful Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection.
Exotic and flowy, each piece was seamless and captured your imagination with its digitally manipulated colours and patterns. Featuring trompe l’oeil; fast becoming the Greek-born designer’s signature effect, Mary was also inspired by blown glass with its organic and spiralling nature.
Showing under the NextGen scheme sponsored by Topshop the Central Saint Martins graduate and London’s Centre for Fashion Enterprise recipient produced kaleidoscopic pieces that incorporated swirls, fans and folds into the bodice; differentiating and growing from her last collection of straight silhouette shifts.
Bursting with technicolour, monochrome and crystals some of her pieces seemed other-worldly and were aptly named so, such as Sea Tiger, Barracuda and Yellow Inferno.
