Celine Spring/Summer 2012

I have been a fan of Phoebe Philo since her start at Celine not too long ago. The large silhouette highlights absolutely nothing on the body, and it happens to be one of the major trends of next season. I still appreciate it for its art. Color blocking on leather seems to be the new denim-block-jean-shirt from this season. The wide belt, the exaggerated shoulders, and the clunky shoes all add to the oversize effect. Very successful show!

Givenchy Spring/Summer 2012

I love the fabrics used in this collection, possibly the best fabrics I've seen all season. The layering with the vest is the most quintessential item of the collection. However, I did notice this is the most boring collection Tisci has done so far. Where are the animal faces? 

Anyway, I love the silhouette of the Givenchy lady. Very sexy and powerful, bravo.

John Galliano Spring/Summer 2012

It's just not the same without him. This collection doesn't scream Galliano; It's a far cry from his Spring 2010 show--now that was a presentation! Bill did a good job at the Dior show, but what energy he spent there was lacking at Galliano. Deep inside I'm still hoping Galliano will return to at least his own label. The fashion industry is ready for him! Recover fast, John!

Hermes Spring/Summer 2012

It's true when they say you don't know how much someone is worth, or how important they are to a brand until they leave. Gaultier did the worst thing he possibly could for Hermes upon leaving the brand, as it has now turned into absolute shit. Perhaps not absolute because we see these trends and styles everywhere and we admire them, but to see them on a brand such as Hermes is extremely disappointing! I won't get over it, I want the fine craftsmanship back, I want the horseback riding lady with the really expensive boots on the runway, not the modern 20-something year old! That's not Hermes! I could die.
