I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Mary Katrantzou for Topshop; Images via  Topshop

I know this news is already spreading like wildfire across the interwebz but just wanted to do a bit of heads-up from my end. Long-time readers will know I go KAKA for Mary Katrantzou so this is one designer x high street collaboration worth hollering. It’s so soon too – 17th of February – first day of LFW for the relevant bunch, and prices start from £40 but the dresses are on triple digits… not so horrific when compared to her usual five-digit frocks. Will be looking forward to some wrestling in stores next week, I bring the mat, you can bring the oil?

    Freaking love this! I desperately want to get my hands on a piece…

    Really amazed by this collaboration and can’t wait to see it in person. It’s got to be one of the best recreations of a designers mainline for a high street shop. It feels very true to Mary’s aesthetic and since I don’t see myself dishing out a couple grand for one of her proper pieces anytime soon this might just have to suffice. xx

    Why, oh why, don’t we have a topshop here?? Le sigh… I will just have to surrender myself to admiring from afar.

    I’ve never really wanted to look like asian pottery but oh my, this looks good. Too bad there is no Topshop in Belgium … (although my wallet is happy!)

    The colors and patterns on these dresses are so terrific, they almost overshadow the cut (almost). Love this camouflage photos too.

    Those are some wild, wild prints. I love it, no TopShop here so I’ll check it out via the interwebz when all of the blogger/models strut their stuff.

    The designer really worked hard because I can feel the idea in every part of these clothes.

    I agree – this is honestly the best collaboration in a while. Too bad Canada won’t be getting this collection in stock until March :(

    After hearing so much about the collaboration, I can’t believe that the pieces are just about to be hitting the stores! All of the prints in these pictures are amazing, impounded even more so by the floral backgrounds. Thanks for sharing and I hope that you have a good weekend! xx

    It’s really nice of her to go full on for the high street collaboration. Seeing from the pics， the prints and shapes are not far away from the main line at all， unlike other collaborations where you seem you get only a fraction of the design and quality (well, since you’ve only paid a fraction of the price, so um, fair enough) I really appreciate how generous Mary is. Bravo!
