Cynthia Rowley S/S 2012 Fashion Show

As I watched each guest arrived at Cynthia Rowley, expressions of excitement gleamed across their faces. The gold spikes blooming from the runway’s entrance sparked excitement in every person in the room. The glass runway looked delicate as we awaited for the start of what was a magnificent show. I looked at the sheet of paper stated, “The optical exuberance of gold. Flash mobs of floral and animated shapes. The thrill of adornment in forced perspectives.”

Before the show started, I envisioned bold floral prints, gold trimmings and a myriad of prints. As I saw the models walk gracefully down the runway, the silhouettes and the fun prints captured the essence of the feminine style that Cynthia Rowley so effortlessly embraces every season. Variations of tuxedo jackets were crisp all white with botanical prints, which are easily matched with red pants for a casual, stylish outfit. Athletic elements in the styles also complimented this collection. The different versions of mesh leather used for the tees and skirts were also something I thought was fun. The variety of materials and methods used for this show were truly inspiring!

Mackage Spring/Summer 2012 Presentation.

When I looked at the garments worn at the Mackage SS12 Collection, I questioned the aesthetic of the fabrics that were used. It was used to construct clothes that were neither too girly or motorcycle edgy. Instead, they lie between those two styles by the method of tailoring used by Eran and Elisa. They played with light fabric such as satin and linen and made it look sharp. As I took a closer look, I loved the masculine twist some pieces showed. This is evident from the buckle detail on white leather shorts, distressed twill jacket with black leather cuffs, and smoke print sheer dress. Some showed more of a feminine, much softer characteristic especially from the pleated skirts and chiffon shirts.

Sachin + Babi Spring/Summer 2012 Presentation.

Thanks to Erin, I was able to attend this presentation. The combination of the muted color palette along with the outbursts of metallics and bright colors gave this collection a fresh vibe. Hints of leather detailing were used to show contrast in pleated shorts, short sleeve shirts, and sleeveless dresses, just to name a few. Leather was applied as trim, embroidery-and showed texture when some were perforated. Lengths varied but mostly mid or floor length. overall, the collection was sharp and simple.
