Mary Cantranzu's extraordinarily bright and intricate prints draw attention to each of her collections. Her debut took place in 2009, and since then, many women of fashion have been eagerly awaiting the release of the next collection of the British designer.

Mary Cantranzou, a British designer of Greek origin, always offers fashion lovers a sophisticated cut, unusual relief of fabrics, intricacy of prints depicting precious objects known in the art world. Such as, for example, Faberge eggs, ancient Chinese porcelain, Coromandel screens. Her pieces create a sense of playfulness and luxury at the same time.

Unusual textures of fabrics, effects of optical illusion, which are combined with hand embroidery and high-tech cut captivate attention.

British designers always stand out from the crowd with their amazing collections. They have a challenge, courage, a desire to experiment, which gives weight in the fashion world. And Mary Katranzu is one of those who moves in her own rhythm, experimenting with the texture of the fabric, setting her own trends.

Mary moved to the United States in 2003, then graduated from the Rhode Island school of Design with a bachelor's degree in architecture. However, she also showed an interest in fabrics, namely, in prints. She even managed to sell several of her works to the Bill Blass brand. Interest, and at the same time, luck, forced her to change her occupation. She took up clothing design.

In 2007, Mary entered London St Martin's College at the Faculty of Textile Design. And already in 2008, at her graduation show, she demonstrated a collection of dresses with prints in the form of huge digital images of jewelry, which were made in the old technique of Trompe l'oeil. This collection received two awards at once: from the company L'Oreal Professional and the London department store Harrods. Mary reproduces the optical effect of a three-dimensional image on fabrics. She comes up with the prints herself, which are created in a computer program, and then transferred to the fabric.

Not all women can present her products with unusual and intricate prints, which clearly show inspiration from great works of art, such as the legendary creations of the famous jeweler Carl Faberge, perfume bottles, amazing floral prints and outlandish birds, ancient Chinese porcelain and many others.

All models in the collection are united by one piece. Mary can find inspiration not only in the works of Jean Honore Fragonard, Jean Marc Nattier, Henri Matisse, François Boucher, Rene Magritte, but also in the most ordinary things. You can see anything you want on Mary's dresses: telephones, metal structures, old lace stained glass windows, and even amazing green hedges of English parks. Each of us can see something different in prints ...

If you feel that you can, like Anna Dello Russo, put on an outfit with an unexpected print, that risk and provocation are for you, then do not be afraid, experiment.
