Salvatore Ferragamo - Spring Summer Collection 2012

Noah Mills for Salvatore Ferragamo

Spring Summer 2012 Collection

Ralph Lauren Spring Summer 2012

Ralph Lauren launched the show with casual daily wear in a pastel color palate. Powder blue, pale pink, pale yellow, and mint green separates were showcased, styled with long, flower-print scarves, bucket hats, basket purses, and platform shoes, perfectly balancing the luxurious material.
Following his pastel color palate, the collection moved into looks that were crisp and clean a refreshing adjustment. Tailored trousers and menswear-inspired jackets, vests, and ties added layers and dimension to all-white outfits; tassel belts and long, single-strand pearls added simple luxury; pinstripe pants and jackets were a simple, subtle alternative.

Moving into the more formal looks of the collection, Lauren maintained cohesion. Models walked the runway in pale pink, blue, and mint green gowns. Enormous feather stoles accessorized gowns, and feathers adorned hemlines to provide an interesting texture. White silk gowns were breathtaking, some with open backs and elaborate beadwork.
On the Buchanan side of the story were wallpaper floral bias-cut dresses, timely pastel silk pajama pants, and “vintaged” cashmere sweaters with faux moth holes. For accessories: raffia platform sandals, embroidered and fringed bags, and delicate scarves tied tight at the neck. Lauren’s girl Gatsbys had pinstriped three-piece suits with cropped pants, shorts, or full trousers to choose from and the occasional anachronism in the form of a pink leather Perfecto jacket

Roberto Cavalli's collection at H&M

Madona, Karl Lagerfeld, Kylie Minogue, Stella Mc Cartney, Victor & Rolf...Why not French & Saunders, now?What name has not appeared on H&M's list?

The latest trend in the Haute Couture industry is to design affordable collections for the masses...

Mainly because nowadays working for the rich and the powerful is some-what a sign of social unease..

The next on the list turned out to be no one else than Roberto Cavalli, who launched its new collection with a pompous happening in Rome, The "Roberto Cavalli at H&M" line has been introduced in the stores all over France. The Italian designer, whose style has always been glamourous and flamboyant, has produced a collection that can be easily and politely defind as over the top. Definitely, not for anyone. Let's be clear: zebra and panther patterns and synthetic furs can make the day of any devoted Fashionista.

If you're one of those individuals who likes to attend pseudo-mundane events, while making sure that anyone who sees you know instantly that you're wearing Roberto Cavalli outfit, well, knock yourself out!

The collection consists of 20 pieces for men and 25 pieces for women, as well as a collection of accessories and underwear.

Madonna, Karl Lagerfeld, Kylie Minogue, Stella McCartney, Victor & Rolf... why not French & Saunders, now?! What name has not yet appeared on H&M's list? The latest trend in the haute couture industry is to design affordable collections for the masses... mainly because nowadays working only for the rich and the powerful is somewhat a sign of social unease...

The next on the list turned out to be no one else than Roberto Cavalli, who launched its new collection with a pompous happening in Rome; on November 8th, the "Roberto Cavalli at H&M" line has been introduced in the stores all over France . The Italian designer, whose style has always been glamourous and flamboyant, has produced a collection that can be easily and politely defined as over the top. Definitely, not for anyone. Let's be clear: zebra and panther patterns and synthetic furs can make the day of any devoted fashionista; however, the same items can fulfil the dreams of anyone looking for a great Halloween costume.

If you're one of those individuals who likes to attend pseudo-mundane events, while making sure that anyone who sees you knows instantly that you're wearing a Roberto Cavalli outfit, well, knock yourself out! Personally, I'm not going to change for anything else the little nice skirt I paid 20€ in the little shop around the corner ... at least 25, I'll have the satisfaction to know that I won't be seeing it on anyone else!

The collection consists of 20 pieces for men and 25 pieces for women, as well as a selection of accessories and underwear. The collection will be available for a limited amount of time.
