Design Museum, London
6th December 2012 As a fan of Mary Katrantzou’s fashion creations, I love this idea. The designer has come up with a Christmas Tree for the Design Museum in London, incorporating patterns from her Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection. Featured on the outer wall of the museum, the 2d design highlights the elegant embroideries created by Katrantzou in a collaboration with Swarovski and Lesage.
Mary Katrantzou: “The print was inspired by formal gardens and artful box parterres; these were layered and overlaid to create an intricate maze-like print reminiscent of a hand-embroidered lace motif.”
To see the tree, visit the Design Museum, Shad Thames, London SE1 2YD. On display now until 9th January 2013. www.designmuseum.org CN
