I actually wondered about this for quite a while, since I bought Slay Belle Katarina last Christmas (2014). I was so excited to finally get my dream skin so I went for a custom, spammed and staring at the spell effects. It was a worth skin.

I noticed that for her W, her spin animation shows that she spins twice. So the first thought in my mind was "wait, is it just me or she spins more gracefully with this skin". When i look at it closely, I saw she spin twice. I couldn't stop my curiosity and exit that custom game. Then i created another custom game, but this time i selected my other skin, Sandstorm Katarina. I took my W and stared at it real close, and I saw she only spin once with this skin. I couldn't believe it was different so I stared at it couple of times. Then i get more suspicious and decided to go in another custom game but this time with no skin. I found out the same thing, Katarina spins once.

To me, obviously the twice spinning Katarina is definitely better, because the animation looks real smooth. While the other Kat skins that only spins once, she looks like she derped for a while then the animation ends. You guys could check the skin spotlights and see what I discovered, or even test yourself if you own Slay Belle Katarina.

Is this intended Riot? Would be great to comment and tell a little bit of story, but please please please please don't remove Slay Belle's double spinning.

the animation is a fluid spin that throws blades out. thats what the animation is. in most cases you can animation cancel that spin by auto attacking immediately after pressing W.
