I was on Youtube a few days a go and I had noticed on my subscription list that Style had come out with a few new videos since the Haute Couture collections. With my eyes locked onto my laptop I watch all of Style's new vids, sure enough the SS 2012 shows are upon us!
My favourites so far have to be Rodarte, Thom Browne and surprisingly I loved Donna Karan's SS 2012 collection (Never been a big fan of Donna Karan)
I'm really liking what I have seen in the SS 2012 collections and I'm intrigued to see the rest of the designers collections
Thom Browne I think had the most interesting SS 2012 presentation, there was a 1920's vibe about the collection and I love me some 20's. Browne's collection had this vibe that was elegant, confident, and somewhat sporty. Browne's SS 2012 debut had an aura that I think represents fashion so well, for women. It was like this underground scene in the 1920's that had this forbidden glamour feel to it.
Rodarte's colour palette was stunning drawing from the inspiration that came from Sleeping Beauty coupled with Van Gogh hence this translated into a palette of gorgeous yellows and blues. Rodarte donned some gorgeous flowy fabrics and one of Van Goghs most signature pieces of art- Starry Night which was shown on a airy princess dress.
Donna Karan's collection had an African tribal Princess/Hollywood vibe which I fell in love with. Her collection wasn't over shadowed by ghastly animal prints on everything, but rather the colour tones, patterns, combined with prints and accessories made for a perfect SS collection, see for yourself!
Any favourites so far?
Love, Petra
