The main silhouette is derived from the ancient Greek Ionic
column. The Ionic is slender and taller than the other styles (Doric and
Corinthian) with its capital (top part) decorated in graceful scrolls.
Like the Ionic column, the eye is drawn upwards from Krystof’s
streamline body con dresses to the elegantly curved and patterned necklines
which represent the column’s ornate capital.
For the looser styles, softly scrunched panels mimic the
shaft contours of the column.
Architectural elements are the key feature to this
collection and prints of the Ionic column adorn the lapels of matador style
jackets and hug the sides of pencil skirts.
Srtozyna was also inspired by the intricate etchings of
Piranesi and feature his own interpretation of viaducts and landscape on his
prints.
The viaduct etching print stretches the length of trousers
and sleeves elongating the arms and legs.
For texture and richness, a jacquard print is woven in to
the more tailored cotton mix fabrics.
Accessories: Bangles of thick chunky resin and necklaces of
printed fabric.

And violet was the obvious colour choice to make Elizabeth Taylor's violet eyes
The short dresses are really beautiful.
