What inspires you? When I see a work of art, whether it’s on a canvas or dress, I wonder what inspired the artist.

Be still my heart! I couldn’t believe my computer screen. I stared in disbelief when I saw the ready-to-wear version of Mary Katrantzou’s Faberge dress on sale for Last Call at Neiman Marcus. I vividly remember seeing the designer’s work for the first time on Anna Dello Russo. It was a masterpiece, and I was in love.
Just a little about this brilliant designer… Mary Katrantzou is a Greek fashion designer residing in London. Originally, she studied architecture before switching her focus from interiors to fashion. Her work has been seen in Vogue, Grazia, Gossip Girl, and a collaboration with Topshop {just to name a few}. This dress was inspired by the beauty of a Coromandel screen and Faberge egg.
