Vivienne Westwood S/S 2012 Collection

Inspired from exotic Geishas, Vivienne Westwood created deconstructed kimonos with complicated drapings, strong shoulders and huge proportions for her summer collection. Remaining commited to her famous theatrical style, she teamed her outfits with the most gorgeous chunky heels, tassel earrings and big hats to create an inspiring, mysterious and perhaps one of the most edgy collections seen so far.

Vionnet S/S 2012 Collection

Vionnet is taking a magical trip to an enchanting garden, full of dreamy creations. Femininity takes over with luxurious outfits and a bright colour palette. Dazzling prints of stars, ladybirds, butterflies and blossoms are the protagonists in this beautiful fairytale with the famous Vionnet-draping giving an almost sculptural result.

Dresses are ruling in the collection, from coctail pieces to floor-lenght gowns, all with crystal, gemstone, pearl and sequin detailing. The materials were absolutely stunning with a wide selection of lame satin, silk crepon, tulle, georgette, chiffon and silk jersey, all in fresh colours of hot pink, lemon, midnight or light  blue, pistacchio, ivory and grey.

The House did it again.

Juan Carlos Obando S/S 2012 Collection

Sexy is becoming sophisticated in Juan Carlos Obando's collection for next season. Like many other designers, his inspiration came from great stars of the past like Rita Hayworth, Yma Sumak and Josephine Baker with ultra-feminine dresses, complicated pleats, luxurious fabrics and bright colours. Definitely the best fashion show background so far.
