Fashion Has an Interior Motive


Yes your eyes have not deceived you...This is an interior picture of a home on a dress....Here's another one...

These fabulous dresses are by the very talented Greek fashion designer, Mary Katrantzou.  With this collection she wanted to "put the room on the woman, rather than the woman in the room", what a concept right?




She digitally manipulates images of interiors by Guy Bourdin and Helmut Newton for her surreal collection.  Mary had been looking at old seventies photography, when it occurred to her that the interiors in these pictures were just as important as the models and that was her inspiration for these dresses. 


They are definitely not for the budget minded girl, but they are pretty cool and I think they would be a great dress to wear to a clients job don't you?

Very interesting concept, Marie! But will they make my hips look big? : ) I think the second one has a nice form to it.

What a fantastic idea. I like that the woman is wearing the room not being in the room! what a statement.

I too like the statement, "put the room on the woman, rather than the woman in the room". Very unique!
