The U.S. Postal Service has been on the decline for years—facing billion-dollar deficits since 2007—but stamps got some much-deserved Transatlantic love at London Fashion Week on Sunday. Designer Mary Katrantzou, best known for her bright and eclectic prints, used them as the inspiration for her Spring / Summer 2013 collection. International stamps (and bank notes) were front and center on shifts and shirts, giving the graphic pieces an extra festive note. Dare we say, the collection was, umm, right on the money? (Sorry.)
