Alexander McQueen Spring 2012 RTW

I am loving Alexander McQueen's ready-to-wear spring 2012 collection by Sarah Burton!  Inspired by the iconography of oceanography, Burton started the show off in feminine outfits that included umpire skirts with ruffles, in bright colors, to give the illusion that they were "jellyfish".  All of the outfits were paired with lace hoods and platform shoes, that are to die for, but my favorite was the black laced sheer number, down below!  I would wear that work, its amazing!  Check out Burton's profile on Voguepedia and let me know what you think!

I definitely love Burberry, even more so since its current Creative Director, Christopher Bailey, came aboard!  Burberry Prorsum showed Monday afternoon at London Fashion Week and it was a star studded event with celebrities and the socialites lining the front row.  Onlookers included, but not limited to, Kanye West, the Duchess of Cambridge's sister, Pippa Middleton, and Sienna Miller.  Guest were shown the spring/summer 2012 collection that consisted of bold colors and prints along with some beaded and braided items.  Let me know what you guys think!

London Fashion Week!!!

London Fashion Week is here as designers and fashion lovers from all over the world flock to the trendy city to see breath the taking shows.  The runway shows, which kicked off in full gear Friday, September 16 and runs through Wednesday, September 21st, included shows from Christian Blanken, Vivienne Westwood Red Label, and Jonathan Saunders and so many more, some of which have not yet shown.  

On other news via People - Style Watch, Beyoncé and Tina Knowles, who is a customer of mine I might add, also showed in London for their autumn/winter 2011 collection for the House of Deréon.  Although they weren't listed on the London Fashion Week website, the show was held at Selfridges department store in a decorated car park.  Watch the video below, where the design duo explains their collection and how they get their influence.

Parke & Ronen, Spring 2012

      

While surfing around GQ online, I came across Parke & Ronen's Spring 2012 collection that showed this past Friday in New York.  I am definitely feeling everything that this collection has to offer from the chic styling to the casual, sophisticated aesthetic!  I love the use of bright colors, which we are seeing a lot of in Spring, but what I like the most is the burst of colors that are not too bright, to where it distracts you.  The use of print and plaids on the shorts are an added element to the already likable collection, and don't get me started on the swimwear because they look amazing!  Show them some love! (and show me some by sending me some Parke & Ronen trunks!)

Fashion Show Flash Mob

The Simon Now Fashion Show presented by the Cadillac, at the Houston Galleria, was quite an exciting event this year!  The atmosphere of the scene and crowd was terrific as everyone rubbed elbows with each other, while models posed like mannequins in various spots for Tiffany & Co.  The the models donned on amazing outfits from the Fall lines of Neiman Marcus, Carolina Herrera, St. John, Max Mara, and shoes from Jimmy Choo which ended with a Flash Mob on the catwalk!  I was quite excited and didn't know what to do and was totally in love with the older lady dancing in the end of the video!
