Karl-collection for Karl-addicts

As far as all fashionistas are aware, Karl Lagerfeld unveiled his separate from Chanel collection. That is totally dissimilar with what he's bringing to Chanel, but that's totally similar to himself. If to take even a sneak peak at the collection , you can easily spot reflection of Karl's own style. The main distinctive feature is these fingerless leather gloves that tick off each look.

The stores were opened in New York, London, Berlin, Paris and Sydney on the 25th of January. This longed-for moment was showstopping: the streets literally burst with crowds of devout fan of Lagerfeld and fashionistas, all that anticipated about sinking into a gleaming sophistication of the store. I'm sure this very moment payed off in the long run eventually, because the collection is sublimely bedazzling!

 The collection has a defiant taste and is absorbed with frivolity debauched spirit.

Extremely edgy rock'n'roll leather jackets, white, black, glittered, patched serve as a throw-over for almost every outfit. Boundary pushing dresses, glazed with liquid chic will undoubtedly be a perfect idea as an evening outfit if to pair it with heels. The magically gleaming Tinkerbell-like and mysteriously femme fatale leather skirts soothe and moderate a little roughly audacious chic and team it up with strokes of femininity.

 

   Liquid silver, sequined black, chalky black and white panels, lacquered leather. And each separate is sprinkled with a drop of sparkle-sequined magic. The separates are gasping for being mixed and spiced up with a fancy embellished collar, that would add a masculine shade to a look. The collection is flickering from both spectrums : figurative and literal. That's the joint of masculine and feminine in rough rock'n'roll biscuit and whipped sequins creme.

Lace Frills.More Lace More Frills !

I want to write a pretty typical post about what I liked from Spring-Summer 2012 collections. Nothing special, but when I adore - I speak it out loud!
As always I find plenty of designers' launches, looking at which ones I get captured by incessant delight. There are some especially admirable!

 Magnificent lace collars, flawless puffball skirts and lace-lace-everywhere-lace garments made me profoundly obsessed with lace for an umpteenth time. Lace is something my eyes cannot miss. I believe they have this lace-identification inner mechanism in their structure. xxx
Louis Vuitton just splattered some salt on my lace-obsession wound.

Sarah Burton fashion-desires-inducing collection for Alexander McQueen also tease my lace-obsession fairly enough but not for quitting looking at that. "This is a collection about excess" - said Sarah Burton. Lace  ruche are obviously over the board. But in fashion we cannot say "too little" "too much". Fashion is Art, Art, in its turn, is self-expression. And self-expression is like a statement for each artist. He made this statement, and if he thinks that something is too much or too little - he's authorized to changed or justify it. Only he.
So I always see a doze of exaggeration in Alexander McQueen's collections, but that's one of characteristic features of the brand.
This spring-summer 2012 collection hit all the borders of femininity. Sheer, translucent fabrics, diaphanous chiffon, lace face veils, accentuated hemlines, exquisite folds compile a delicious filling for this big showcase cake.

 

Valentino as well made a precious contribution in lace and sheer fabrics design. These ankle-skimming gowns embody ultimate grace and feminine infinity. Wearing these stark beauty, your soul starts itching to walk down the marvelette forest of spacious sunlit chamomile field. A gust of feelings is over a board when you put or dream to put one of these sheer chick dresses on.

Jewel-coloured collection of YSL impressed me with its profundity and power of luxurious plum, blue, blueish black, grey and emerald green colours in flowing simple shapes.

Galliano's  frilled dresses is gorgeous epitome of frivolity, lightness and impeccable exquisiteness. 

Asymmetrically arranged frills of pastel shades get us tuning for blossomy spring and flowery summer days. Hats add this dresses a completely dewy-eyes girlishness.

Etherial spring-summer 2012 Lanvin allures us in a transparent and airy indulgence.

 

These forthcoming spring-summer seasons promise to be on the edge of femininity, airy floaty veil-covers and exquisite designs.
