Paris Fashion Week Spring 2012

Paris Fashion Week has come to an end with a fantastic memorable designer collection from Louis Vuitton and Alexander Mc Queen.

This season showed big brands struggling under the burden of cut throat competition of high rising demands of style and design.Marc Jacobs has done it again - an utterly amazing collection for . The Spring 2012 Collection was light as a feather - literally and figuratively - in colors we thought only the Easter Bunny could produce so elegantly. The lightest shades of robin’s egg blue, lemon meringue, and shell pink went round the runway. There were prim day-suits with cropped jackets and skirts of broderie anglaise and lace. Even more stunning were the cotton candy dresses - beautiful creations made of lace, chiffon and feathers. Jacobs, like many designers this season, created voluminous silhouettes with full skirts and rounded shoulders, but in a way that was all his own.
The Spring Collection from MiuMiu was darker than one would expect for spring, opening with looks in dark charcoal, black, and burgundy.

Bralette tops and full skirts paraded down the runway, along with short dresses paired with capes and little capelets. Ms. Prada kept the collection interesting with her use of lace and patchwork prints. Our favourite pieces in the collection were the evening jackets in lace, prints, and soft colors, sweetly tied with a velvet bow.Elie Saab’s gorgeous Spring 2012 collection showcased gown after gown, in hues ranging from white to mustard yellow to emerald. There were Grecian gowns fit for a goddess, beaded numbers that are sure to have the flashbulbs popping, and even a few suits with sheer and lace embellishments, putting a feminine spin on the menswear inspired ensembles. The highlights of the collection, though, were the dresses of lace and chiffon, understated and elegant. Paris Fashion Week also had designer bags in their collection. You can find your favourite handbags from the Spring '12 shows. We saw seashell-shaped, coral-encrusted wristlets at Chanel and slouchy, boho-cool bags from Carven — plus, designers like Lanvin, Barbara Bui, and Chloé showed us that snakeskin are still in for the Spring season.

More odd more cool

Simple and straight things don’t look fashionable. Keeping the same concept in mind many odd combinations were seen on the ramp of Paris Fashion Week.  Combinations like pairing denim cutoffs with Uggs, wearing knee-high boots with peep-toe cutouts, or donning a sleeveless peacoat jacket in the dead of winter added the flavour to the ambience of the show.   Based on origami and the concept of regeneration, the statement garments lie folded flat like a series of collapsed geometric landscapes. Pulled up and unfolded, however, each compressed form gracefully resolves into a three-dimensional shirt, jacket, skirt, or dress that can be worn in myriad—if acutely angled—ways.
