Mary Katrantzou’s life aquatic, by EMH

spacer

As one of London’s shining new fashion stars, Mary Katrantzou’s vidid printed womenswear has become a hallmark of the new ladylike guard of British designers – alongside names like Christopher Kane, Erdem and Richard Nicoll. Closely following her progress, NY-based artist Erik Madigan Heck continues his fascination with Mary’s surrealist prints, in a brilliant new series for his online title Nomenus Quarterly, shot in New York this November. Blurring the disciplines of painting and photography within a fashion context, Erik has taken inspiration from portraits of the late Frida Kahlo – a feminist artistic figure whose surrealist, folk art has been described by André Breton as like “a ribbon around a bomb”.

A BLOG is proud to present this latest collaboration between Mary and Erik, a series of eight images wherein each blossoming handpainted scenes is a direct reaction to the garments, and a careful study in the manipulation of colour and light to achieve a spectacular optical effect.
