I’d Pluck It

December 18, 2011 by WendyB

I’m not the world’s biggest fan of floral prints, but I do like some, especially the abstract ones textile designer Celia Birtwell created for her husband, clothing designer Ossie Clark, in the 1960s and 1970s. Now a current designer has caught my eye with a hyper-realistic floral look. I spotted this Mary Katrantzou dress in the January issue of W.

If I come across that one in person, I’ll definitely try it on and report back!

      Why, have you broken into your grandma’s house, snatched her TV and sold it to buy florals? Then, yes, you need help.

    Love her stuff. Did you know that she’s doing a lower end collection for Topshop? Not sure if it’s going to be released in the US, but I’m sure it will be great.

    Abstract floral prints appeal to me more than realistic ones, but I agree with Lara, that dress says WENDY.

    I hope so, that is beautiful. I’d love to see you in it . . . it would be a real departure for you.

    That is certainly a very unique print. If you try it on, I have got to see how it comes across on a real person. I think it’s right in line with your quirky dress collection.

    Mary Katrantzou is fab – and Celia Birtwell too!
