Spring Foward/Fall Backwards 2012

Runway time of year is my favorite time of year.  We are blessed to view art in movement as women and men glide across glossed floors adorned in flawless designs.  As an advocate of the arts, fashion exerts the utmost team work that the overall community gets to witness.  Tens of hundreds of artists come together to create an event, a look, an expression that each year effects the way in which we live.


Spring Forward Couture 2012

Christian Dior Spring 2012.  Wide V neckline, large bow, floral detailing and gorgeous shoes mimicking the material of the dress.  Spells out the idea of spring blooming into a new year.

Jean Paul Gaultier 2012.  The flamboyant artist mixes tailored lines, girly flair and fantastically colored hair on the runway this year evoking fun and fairly practical looks for the season.

Givenchy 2012.  This look was one of my very favorites, but does not even tell the tale of how amazing this photo shoot was set up.  Gorgeous in creativity and overall execution.  The lips on every model are like biting into a forbidden apple. This gown is flawless in detail and design.

 

 

 

Spring Ready to Wear 2012

Dries Van Noten Spring 2012. Love this look.  Peplum pants are fantastic.  This is what I will be wearing to the office this spring.  Preppy and girly.   

 

 

 

 

 

Alexander McQueen Spring 2012.  Always a personal favorite.  The detail is impeccable.  The feminine shape has tightlacing and a great mix of fashion eras all in one dress. 

Christian Dior Spring 2012.  This is the dress I have chosen for spring and summer events this year.  Flawless in beauty.  Perfect amount of sparkle, gorgeous color and ideal neckline for hosting company or being the understated fashionista of the party.  

Fall Backwards 2012

Naeem Khan Fall 2012.  Perfectionist when it comes to the bead adorned gown.  The pattern is delightfully busy and offsets the heavy beaded bodice.  Transcends from the runway to The Metropolitan Club event seamlessly.

Marchesa Fall 2012.  The best accent to a formless frock is tooling ruffling out of the bottom.  Beautiful colors.  Hope to be wearing this in the fall. If I were getting married, I would board my jet to the honeymoon in this.

Rodarte Fall 2012.  Fall in love with fall is what this Rodarte dress says to me.  Gorgeous neckline, beautiful mixture of fabrics and textures.  This hair style was also the big talk on the runway this fall.

Zac Posen Fall 2012.  It was hard picking my favorite look from Zac's fall line.  Every outfit was classically gorgeous with fitted tailoring due to an overall Asian influence.  This fur coat was my weakness though.  I would feel like an heiress in this design.
