A Shalimar perfume bottle, vibrant drippings of molten glass, tricked out rooms from World of Interiors – these are some of the visuals that Mary Katrantzou has incorporated into her stunning trompe l’oeil designs. It’s a trick that could quickly turn gimmicky, but her eye for elegance and keen integration of textiles and garments have made her two-year old label a must-see. We spoke with Mary on the day she was awarded the 2010 Swiss Textile Award, a 100,000 euro prize that will help launch the next phase of her young but promising career. Casey Spooner wears a jacket with custom textile designed by Katrantzou (suit by Timothy Everest) based on an Asprey diamond catalog. http://www.marykatrantzou.com/
