.

Sarah Mower of VOGUE in her review writes:
Mary Katrantzou’s spring 2011 collection—all printed with images of lavish hotel and stateroom interiors—and embellished with interior-decorator braid, tassels, and fringe trimmings. She’d digitalized fragments of pages from vintage copies of Architectural Digest and The World of Interiors, amped up the color to hyperrealist level.

"Yes, it's excessive, and decorative, 

and I know everyone else is talking about minimalism...

"But I knew I needed to go a little outside the stuff I've been doing. 

And I do like a challenge." MK
