Fall 2012. Collections
overall announced quite a serious season, darkly romantic. The common theme was
harder age look, a lot of layering as if layers were there to build up to a
protective shield, defending women from hard and unpredictable economic times
coming up. Renaissance inspired romantic darkness was contrasted with
excessive, escapist urge of more couture pieces showed – creative double
reality for women, the one we live and the luxury, dreamy one we strive for.
CAVALLI swapped last season
mink with crocodile, there were a lot of amazing 70’s inspired pants shown and
lovely animal print sweaters. Overall, he created rather rich, powerful,
excessive and sexy collection.
PRADA presented virtual
princesses army, girls looked powerful and otherworldly, a bit like robotic
avatars. Pieces were decorated waste upwards, skirts were styled over pants,
focus was on structure, ornament and print but romanticism was still coming out
as PRADA’s signature.
FENDI designed collection
with modern amazons in mind. I really loved the iPad bags, wild orchid motive,
spring bulk power women suits – truly fashion for digital age career women.
VERSACE. Donatella was facing
her demons as she said with this collection. For me, collection was very much
“girl with a dragon tattoo like”, prime motive was byzantine cross, very Goth,
rock & roll feel. My very favorite pieces were chain dresses.
BOTTEGA VENETA’s Tomas Maier
has showed the dark side of fashion. Collection is quite shaped; peplum bottoms
were added to soften up tailored pieces with the goal to enhance the body.
MARNI showed structured
perfectly tailored pieces, some great shoes and overall quite linear
collection.
MISSONI sang ode to mother
nature with amazing natural color shade and with its signature knits by fusing
different fabrications adding innovative crystals, metallic, marble stone,
latex, leather, suede and knits in layers of colors and textures.
D&G’s collection
was inspired by romantic baroque with respect to Italian tradition and
celebration of Italy featuring embroidery over lace, beautiful floral prints, and
marzipan like shoes in a spirit of shameless earthiness. This is a “money in
the bank” collection for sure.
ARMANI reinvented his style
with gorgeous evening wear shorts and girlish looks in forcefully strong
colors.
PUCCI designed strong women
dresses showing less skin, classic and sexy with graphics expressed through
fabrics and lovely pajama print suits.
