Mary Katrantzou’s prints have
often be considered wearable art, so it only makes sense that her pieces have
become the subject of photographer Erik Madigan Heck’s latest breathtaking
prints. Heck whose work has been featured in Vanity Fair, W Magazine, The New
York Times among many others and collaborated with fashion designers like The
Row, Haider Ackerman, Kenzo and Ann Demeulemeester has shot a series of
Katrantzou’s collections since 2010.
In an interview with style.com he
stated, “I contacted her originally after she won the Swiss Textile Award. I
was enamored with her creativity and use of color, and I thought we could
collaborate in an interesting and innovative way,”
“Intended as an artistic project
rather than a campaign, the photos are an eye-catching (and, dare we say,
refreshing) approach to showcasing Katrantzou’s clean Spring silhouettes and
currency-inspired prints.” – Style.com
This kind of work really
strengthens the bond between fashion and art, “Digital print Queen Katrantzou's beautiful
collage-like designs are perfectly fused with Heck's mesmerising paint
over-like photography”.
We though it was worth including the images from previous collections as they were simply too beautiful to ignore.
