I must say I'm loving this collection right now. When I posted that comment only 2 looks had been posted, I just judged this collection too early.

 

[lelaid]

i think this collection is great and mary is truly a unique and innovative designer. I am obsessed with that blue suit too!

 

[Alexei]

She really needs to try something new for a change. She isn't developing the brand enough if you ask me. I do like all the printed suits though, but that sort of goes without saying. I'm such a sucker for any head-to-toe tailored print ensemble.

loved her last collection more, but she is still very very good!

I thought it started out a little weak but got much better in the second half.

Id love to be a heiress and step in or out on my yacht wearing this.

check out the 'when celebrities wear runway looks' thread, no one looks good wearing MK off of the runway. Unless you had the body of a model of course.

I disagree. Dianna Agron wore a MK dress to a Nylon event and she looked divine. And although she is gorgeous and slim, she does not have the body of a model either. There have been plenty of other people to wear MK as either red carpet looks or street style and they always look fabulous imo.

^I think Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, Rosamund Pike and January Jones also fared well in her designs.

I have to say, I'm surprised at how much I love this because she uses pretty much the same print every season, but there is something...refreshing about it? Like she adds something to it every season so it doesn't seem repetitive.

that dark blue skinny suit really stands out as the best piece for me from this collection.

OMG the prints are MAJOR, AMAZING and GRAND. Some are difficult to wear, but trust there are people who would wear this head to toe I could imagine who.

 

[LANZO_358]

Imo she relied too much on the prints and no so much on designing. Kinda lazy this collection methinks.

Her work is always evolving to me. Every season is connected to the next, but she always shows growth and enough change to where it looks like a different collection. That's what I see her as. The reason her silhouettes are very simple is because it would look too harrowing if the silhouettes were complicated, in my opinion, especially with this collection and these prints. Not my favorite collection of hers but it is stellar and some of these pieces are my favorites of fashion month so far.

 

[KemAlnagdy]

that's too much everything, but somehow i like it!

 

[Lena]

i'm so surprised, in my book, this is her best collection ever
she let go of the creative mess and the garish bright colors of her fw12 collection

love the stamp idea, the delicate color palette
and most of all the effort she finally put on the shapes

for once, i can see Mary's ability to go beyond pure theatrics by creating a wearable summer collection

 

[Selfportraitgrl]

I'm disappointed by this. I actually like the prints, but I don't think they work at all with the silhouettes she's chosen. The whole collection just looks sloppy to me.
