MARY KATRANTZOU
Born in Athens, Mary Katrantzou studied Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design and graduated with a BA in Textile design and an MA in Fashion from Central Saint Martins. Her graduation show in 2008, which featured trompe l’oeil prints of oversized jewelry on jersey-bonded dresses, took the industry by storm, immediately securing a number of prestigious stockists, notably Browns, Joyce, Colette. After her graduation show, Mary Katrantzou established her namesake brand. She now boasts over 100 high-end stockists ranging from Selfridges to Harrods.
Mary Katrantzou was dubbed "The Queen of Print" by the press, a moniker that recognized the enormous influence of her work in the medium. Katrantzou's work changed the face of twenty-first-century fashion, inspiring high fashion and high street designers alike. Prestigious collaborations have included capsule ranges with Swarovski, Victoria's Secret, Longchamp, Moncler, Topshop, Cowshed and Adidas Originals.
“Print can be as definitive as a cut or a drape and allows a woman to filter beauty found in design, in a subversive way. All my prints are constructed through digital technology. Digital print allows me to experiment with print in a way that fine art and other methods could not. It opens up a huge spectrum for possibility; I can create possibility out of impossibility, surrealism out of realism and both vice versa.”

Rosie Assoulin
Rosie Assoulin grew up in Brooklyn and always knew that fashion was her one true love. She dedicated her time to honing her skills, initially under the tutelage of her mentor and future mother in law, the veteran jewelry designer, Roxanne Assoulin, at Lee Angel. After a brief stint at the Fashion Institute of Technology, she found herself at Oscar de la Renta in New York City, watching the always elegant Mr. de la Renta drape, cut and pin his legendary designs. Later, Rosie sought out a life altering opportunity to spend time with the design studio Lanvin in Paris, where she bore witness to Alber Elbaz’s pure, unbridled creativity and unmatched design talent. Along with a few years in event and floral design, she found that every moment is an opportunity to cultivate her perspective. In late 2012, Rosie decisively turned back towards her first love, fashion, and her eponymous collection made its debut for Resort 2014. The Rosie Assoulin design aesthetic toes the line between the romantically fantastical and the reliably practical.

Theory
Our clothes create confidence. We believe cool, expertly-tailored pieces made of the best materials have the power to change the way we feel, improve the way we work, and inspire the way we live. Theory was originally headquartered in New York’s garment district, the heart of the American fashion industry. There, our founders used their access to high-performance fabrications and local pattern makers to design pants that flattered everyone. They made button-down shirts that looked as sharp at the end of the day as they did at the start and jackets that were cut to make anyone stand a little straighter. With just a few staple pieces, Theory created a fine-tuned working wardrobe for men and women built around beautiful, everyday essentials. Theory is now designed in downtown New York’s Meatpacking District. We continue to offer men and women sophisticated, functional clothes made with integrity, innovation, and style.
