Giorgio Armani Ready-To-Wear Spring/Summer 2012 – Milan Fashion Week

Have you ever heard about Giorgio Armani’s new hobby – diving? It seems that his Giorgio Armani Ready-To-Wear Spring/Summer 2012 collection was snooped from the submarine’s viewport. However Giorgio Armani managed to see beautiful mermaid Coco Rocha through the seaweeds, who became his muse for the whole Giorgio Armani Ready-To-Wear Spring/Summer 2012 collection and even opened the Milan fashion week 2012 show.

According to Giorgio Arman? R-T-W Spring/Summer 2012 collection flair the designer favored Sea of Japan for his diving trip. This could be read in the textile palette: intriguing indigo, dazzling silver, royal cerulean, sea blue and green and of course in navy striped vest pattern. Also the marine theme was recognized in the shell silhouette on strapless gowns, which flutter at the hip, creating conch curves. And sleek silk skirts and trousers with a slit-front and bifurcated pant legs, kimono-inspired bias cut jackets with pagoda shaped shoulders reflected the Far Eastern mood.

All at once, the Giorgio Armani Ready-To-Wear Spring/Summer 2012 collection textiles were chosen to emphasize glistening water, cascading over the models’ body. But the gypsy-inspired tops were to my mind the only disharmonizing element.

In other words it was quit an office wear collection thus wearing Giorgio Armani Ready-To-Wear Spring/Summer 2012 collection clerks would fill themselves at the work place like a duck to water.

Dolce&Gabbana Ready-To-Wear Spring/Summer 2012 – Milan Fashion Week

D&G Ready-To-Wear Spring/Summer 2012 Collection for Milan Fashion Week could have passed in low spirits as it was literally the last one for D&G. It soon is merging into the Dolce & Gabbana mainline. But instead it was the upbeat beyond all questions.

The atmosphere was set thoroughly. While the D&G 2012 collection strode past, Prince was singing his renown lines, “You don’t have to be rich to be my girl…” And there were colorful, feminine and refined ensembles without the lightness of some previous seasons’ foppish boys and vividly printed dresses.

Bright swirls of accessories were absolutely eye-capturing, particularly the scarves in green and pink, orange and yellow, red, yellow and gold, with polka dot flashes and leopard prints. They were worn in different positions, some wrapped up around the body resulting into ruched dresses or worn on top of each other forming layers, some were cut as the sleeves of denim sweatshirts or worn as a sarong under a white shirt.

Despite the aura of spontaneity which was set by numerous flippant scarves, it was no casual collection. The line gave an impression of a gorgeous whirl of Flamenco, especially the huge hats with colorful scarves, large golden coin waterfalls streaming from earlobes.

An up-to-date and trendy propositions were silky pyjama suits, which by all means looked luxurious in D&G 2012 Collection. The pieces were in contrasting bright prints and would look fine both together and apart.

At the end all the models walked out together as a band of colorful gypsies with loose hair. Each dress looked brighter and more romantic than the last. A fascinating show, indeed.

This season the icon of fashion Vera Wang presented her mysterious collection for the New York Fashion Week. Vera Wang Spring/Summer 2012 Collection was inspired by a psychedelic fairytale muse – Alice in Wonderland. It contained mostly youthful and hyper-progressive spring designs which couldn’t be compared with Vera Wang dresses of bridal and gown-shaped style, in the slightest.

The atmosphere was set by the childish melody background from an antique music box. While the catwalk was hit by Victorian-style sporty ensembles with numerous layers of snowy white, changing slowly to the graphic and abstract prints and colour variations: from yellowish to grey, then from rose to cobalt or indigo.

The well-known audience in front rows was startled at the final floor-length numbers. Among them where:  Beyonce Knowles, Kim Kardashian, Jen Brill (Chanel ambassador) and others. The Vera Wang 2012 was an obvious exploration of fine tailoring and transparency, which combined together, gave a cutting-edge and unique effect.

A number of vests and jackets with hoods and short-cut shorts added the collection an athletic edge. In addition some bodices and corset-garments borrowed from modern fetish streams brought in some chic and subtlety. While some of the outfits in Vera Wang’s Ready-To-Wear 2012 Collection carried a psychedelic character, especially the organza and tulle pieces and meringue-like mini-skirts, the majority was original and practically wearable.
