Altuzarra Fall 2012

i simply cannot say no to a good jacket, and Altuzarra makes really good ones, as you can see. and damn those high-slits and velvet pants! i was oooh-ahhhing all over my television when these appeared on the runway. most interesting thing though, are the drapings of bells all over the waists and hems ala belly dancers. so DIY-able, yay!


"I thought that Joseph Altuzarra hit it out of the park this season. I was thrilled to see the ethnic embellishments, fut details, and, of course, those boots! This look mixes textures so well. The heavy knit of the skirt and the toughness of the jacket are such a dream!" - Taylor Tomasi Hill on the collection and the second look from the last row of the collage.

Mara Hoffman Fall 2012

she's done it again! this collection once again showcased Hoffman's trademark free-spirited, breezy silhouettes in floaty silks and sleek geometric prints, only this time with a Southwest feel - campfire, anyone? every piece is utterly gorgeous and the add-ons are as interesting, especially the statement jewelries. this is West-meets-tribal at its best. WIN.

 Helmut Lang Fall 2012

what makes Helmut Lang so inevitably cool is their brand DNA, the trademarks that are the leather, the jackets, the drapey dresses and the asymmetrical frocks - which are exactly what makes this collection so irresistible to me! besides the usual strong, cool gal vibe this collection oozes, i'd really like to talk about the thigh-high suede booties, which are so killing me with its radness! like seriously. and the open weave knits and those see-through mesh tops - are you kidding me?! how about that fiery tones? so fierce, i like!

Derek Lam Fall 2012

is this the new geek chic? these pieces scream details that are to-die-for, right down to the accessories and shoes! i am loving the pencil skirts, the quirky prints, the sporty-elegant vibe, the collars, the leather, the GOLD oxfords! i absolutely adore how the pencil skirts are paired with flat oxfords instead of heels. not to mention the flowy, floor-length maxi skirts - so perfect for a fairy-tale night out. and the printed suit-blazer combo? that just speaks for itself. and how could anyone miss those chunky metallic choker/necklace?! NEED.
