The designs that make up the Mary Katrantzou x Gianvito Rossi footwear collection are psychedelic. Even if the designers weren't inspired by the effects of hallucinatory drugs or the hippie era, it is hard not to refer to them when browsing through the visually striking heels.
Putting the Greek fashion designer's signature fabrics to good use, most of which appear in her SS14 line, the Mary Katrantzou x Gianvito Rossi footwear collection is full of vibrant colors and busy patterns. Although they can be deemed rather eclectic, the overall impression is one of cohesion. This is due in large part to the streamlined shapes of the shoes, which owes itself to the vision of Italian shoe designer Gianvito Rossi.
