Fendi Fall 2012 Is All About Texture
A myriad of textures graced the Fendi runways this season, from leather to jersey, from fur to sheer. But let us just say – it is sure to give you the edge next season. Not only did it feature a myriad of textures, but the inclusion of warped shapes created a strength within the clothing [...]
Always Elegant: Bottega Veneta Fall 2012
The Bottega Veneta collection can be summarized in one simple, all-powerful word: elegant; elegant lines, elegant cuts, elegant women, elegant power. From the sharp suit-like dresses to the brightly printed pieces, to the floor length gowns, the Bottega woman is nothing short of classy, with a classic style, and exudes elegance from her very pores. [...]
Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012
With the end of their younger label D&G, the Dolce & Gabbana boys have definitely made the right statement in their main line collection. Baroque inspired pieces of black and white lace and gold accents dominated the first thirty-four looks (yes, the FIRST thirty-four), indicating the older, original brand. Quickly following the older brand was [...]
Prada Fall 2012 Turns the Tables
If Miuccia Prada is capable of doing something really successful, it’s turning the tables. Whereas her Spring/Summer collection was inextricably girly and feminine, the Prada girl for fall is nothing short of a dazzling vampire queen, set to entrance you with her black-as-night eyes and long, dip-dyed hair. The collection featured bejeweled pieces in dark [...]
DSquared2 All About Retro Schoolgirls for Fall 2012
Following their men’s runway show a month ago, Dean and Dan Caten showed a women’s collection of similar flair at Milan Fashion Week yesterday. Taking us back to Senior Year of high school in the 1960’s, it was retro revival with a fierce punch of modern day sex appeal. Big hair with beehive volume and cat eye makeup (and sometimes cat eye eyewear) only emphasized the look.
Max Mara Goes Military Chic for Fall 2012
Max Mara went with a chic military theme for Fall 2012. The collection was a mixture of elegant and sensible winter coats and jackets layered over casual dresses, skirts, and relaxed jumpsuits. The outerwear ranged from the modern cocoon shaped jacket to the more tailored and classic pea coat. There was a slight emphasis on [...]
Gucci Fall 2012
Kreayshawn may have to retract her previous statement about “basic b*tches wearing Gucci”, because there was nothing basic about their Fall 2012 collection. Each look that came down the runway seduced us. It was dark and sultry and perfectly elegant. A color palette of black, burgundy, olive green and deep purples were paired with floral [...]
Calvin Klein Collection Men’s Fall 2012
For fall 2012, Calvin Klein takes a darker tone, opening the show with full navy looks. Tan and grey appeared in spurts throughout the show, with all black looks finished the show with luxurious mystery. As always, Calvin Klein Collection plays with high-tech textiles and unique textures. However, for fall 2012, we see the inclusion [...]
DSquared2 Men’s Fall 2012
Dean and Dan Caten know exactly who they design for, which can sometimes be a problem. From the fuzzy cropped sweaters to the toggle puffer jackets to the slim fitted suits this collection has something for every occasion. Whether you’re walking into work sporting one of their argyle sweaters or running on the treadmill wearing [...]
Versace Men’s Fall 2012
Versace screamed ‘feed me attention’, but that’s what we love about the brand. Behind the brightly colored neon collars and eye-popping floral printed jump suit are amazing pieces; pieces that every man could use in his closet. The chiffon shirt may not be your style but the amazingly fitted leather jackets could be. The double-breasted [...]
