Fashion designer Natalia Grzybowski has taken an interesting approach to her spring collection: one part printed, one part crisp white. A hybrid. It makes for a contrasting and complementary pairing of soft flowing shapes and silhouettes against rigid architectural constructions. I love the way these forms have been integrated between both halves of the collection, the delicate floral side and the stark white side. There is an obvious link between them but also an obvious separation. It’s unusual and inspired, and totally fits with what she calls an “intentionally part-human, part-botanic” collection. It’s like a mash-up of these historical East Orient-influenced botanic prints and this sort of outer-galaxy alien vibe. It’s so wonderfully weird. Gives me a bit of a Mary Katrantzou sort of energy too. As she’s a favourite designer of mine, naturally, I dig this. Can’t wait to see more from Natalia Grzybowski in the future. I suspect she’ll be one who’ll be constantly catching my eye.








P.S. I’d just like to quickly note that I’m currently in the midst of final projects, and the next two weeks are going to be pretty intense. After that, I will be away in California for a week for graduation (!!), and a few days in Toronto visiting family. Posts from now until June 1 have been scheduled in advance. So if you don’t hear from me as quickly as usual, that’s why. See you again in June! xo.
