MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA F/W '12

MMM once again has created and edgy 'art' collection that is surprisingly wearable.
His looks seem a bit full on but when you break down each of the pieces they are great separates with simple, clean lines. The most exciting thing about this runway is definitely the detailed construction... or perhaps deconstruction?
A lot of the styling is theatrical but imagine changing the way the collar folds- suddenly more street realistic.

The collection was so pretty, shared the same pastels as it's older sister but was a lot softer and flowing.
Most important though, is when can I get those boots!!!

 

LANVIN F/W '12

Late post due to a very hectic past two weeks!
I will post on the things I've been doing very soon.
But in the meantime enjoy the godly works of Alber Elbaz.
How could they have possibly have doubted this man- this collection is definately one of my absolute favourites of this season's fashion week. As usual his ability to promote the female figure was key and the collection featured a lot of emphasis on silhouette and shape. I love that through the middle it got really dark and moody but the stand out would have to be the embellished pieces. Those charcoal dresses with the curved adorning need to make a bypass via my wardrobe!

Great editorial by Nora Bordjah, loving the eclectic feel. My favourite editorials always seem to when the theme is really loose or broad, so it flows and reads well but there's a real variation in looks.
