DSquared :: S/S 12

In Designer, Fashion, Milan Fashion Week on September 30, 2011 at 2:16 PM

the brothers of DSquared took the Spring/Summer 12 runway to Glastonbury- the sod covered runway turned to mud as sprinklers were turned on and models stomped down the runway in boots, with beer bottles in hand. layers were abundant; plaid button downs under leather jackets, vests of denim, leather and fur over t-shirts and stacks and stacks of bracelets up the tiny model wrists…the atmosphere was sure to have had the audience looking for eminent street-style blogger in their midst.

Designer Raf Simons presented a clean refined look for the Jil Sander S/S 12 collection. the house’s go-to white look was showcased throughout the collection, wedged in between knee length skirts, a black short -suit and a pale blue gingham suit featuring a dipped neckline. Simons gave the Jil Sander woman numerous options for white looks come summer, with an emphasis on dresses.

Roberto Cavalli celebrated his 40th year as a designer with his S/S 12 collection. the collection featured drop waist skirts with a peek-a-boo pleat showcasing, as always, a mix of floral and animal print. although gold was the focal point, muted color was abundant, as was black, white and a generous amount of sequin.

Julien Macdonald :: S/S 12

Julien Macdonalds collection for Spring/Summer 12 screamed, and I mean screamed, Taylor Tomasi Hill. and i loved every second of it.

the collection was edgy and styled to a t. slicked back hair, hard red lips, ankle strapped, bondage-inspired stilettos and opaque sunglasses. the collection itself consisted of pieces that could easily be worn day or night, until the end when the most jaw dropping gowns in sheer fabrics and applique designs (quite obviously, Ricardo Tisci inspired from the Givenchy Couture F/W 10 collection). overall a solid collection, and one of the only collections i wouldn’t dare try to break apart from the styled looks.

Jonny Johansson’s S/S 12 collection incorporated staple pieces that will be a must for every style stalked victim come spring. the designer had a very focused mindset on amazing color combinations of vibrant blue and mustard yellow paired with the usual finds on white, black and denim blue. the collection showcased full garments (such as the oversized jacket and bouncy a-line knee grazing skirts) and light, easy fabrics.

Burberry Prorsum :: S/S 12

Christopher Bailey sends more looks each season that I would kill to wear. his designs are luxe yet accessible (wearability wise). his use of stripes for the Burberry Prorsum S/S 12 stole the show. a fitted stripe pencil skirt paired with a cropped army jacket in a muted olive and his striped rendition of the design houses classic trench were both seemingly simple yet could make or break a wardrobe come spring.

Giles :: S/S 12

Giles Deacon, inspired by an artist in his hometown (read more about his inspiration here), presented a collection of “silver swans”. Deacon was subtle in every reference, aside from the giant swan head pieces worn by some of his top models. amid a cloud-like silver back drop, Deacon presented looks in silver, black, grey and a burning fire red. silver metallic laser cut skirts and slashed dresses were among feathered looks and swan prints on silk.

Christopher Kane:: S/S 12

Christopher Kane’s Spring/Summer 12 collection was strangely devoid of a must have statement piece (see Gorilla print S/S 09 and Galaxy print S/S 10). the collection consisted of beautifully tailored dresses with interesting chest pieces and cuts, a white on nude play on flowers and a blue floral print found on dresses and separates.

Aquascutum :: S/S 12

In Designer, Fashion, London Fashion Week on September 28, 2011 at 9:59 AM

designer Joanna Sykes focused on minimal colors for Spring/Summer 12. amid classic trousers and overcoats the designer threw in the sporty on-trend look for Spring in her use of a mesh top and slouchy bottoms. a menswear take on womenswear, the shorts were long, chests were covered and hair was slicked back.
