The last time I kicked about in floral leggings I was 8 years old and it was the early 1990s, but somehow Mary Katrantzou's take on the dubious garment is fresh and unoffensive. Mysterious though it may seem, Katrantzou takes silhouettes and digital prints ranging from antique vases to retro atrocities and combines them into a surprisingly sophisticated style that is resulting in very obnoxious loud beeping and flashing lights on all radars of the fashion-savvy. Now Katrantzou is set to become a name on the lips of girls ranging from 13 to...well... the sky's the limit, with her new mini capsule collection for Topshop. The ten-piece collection will range in price from an affordable £40 to a big (but still cheapcheapcheap when compared to her main line) £300. I'm still waiting to see whether the Katrantzou aesthetic will achieve longevity, but I can't deny that she has definitely rekindled my enthusiasm for a floral print.
