A lot of people have been getting, understandably, more than a little bit excited about the Mary Katrantzou range for Topshop that launched on Friday morning. Word on the street was that if you aspired to purchase anything from the collection before it sold out then you'd best be online before the 9am official launch. They weren't joking. I took a look at about 8:30am and pieces were selling out quickly. As soon as I added something to my bag I was immediately informed that that size had sold out...
... I was really keen on getting hold of the jersey dress and blouse but alas it wasn't to be.
And now I am actually thrilled.
You see, the bandeau dress and tunic I managed to sneak into my basket have just arrived and they are gorgeous! Strikingly beautiful and very wearable. The dress is especially well made, which it really ought to be for £300, but the tunic's print is just wonderful and a perfect length to wear as a casual but oh so stylish dress, or to simply throw over some leggings.
I'm not sure how I'm going to wear the pieces yet. I think keep it simple with the dress but I'm imaging a slim fit long black coat with the tunic and killer black heels for some reason. Maybe because I'm a stealth goth. The kind that wears bright floral prints by Mary Katrantzou.
Anyway, I really just wanted to share with you some up close and personal shots of the pieces as there seems to be a paucity of images available online at the moment. Enjoy and please do tell me what you think.
The tunic:
So, what do you think? A load of hype over nothing, or an amazing opportunity to get some beautiful clothing from an outstanding designer at an almost affordable price?
Also, how would you wear it?
I will follow up with a photoshoot in the dress but that probably won't be until the weekend, suggestions appreciated!
oh my god, that dress is to die for!!! 300 lbs well spent!
