Tom Ford S/S 2012

Finally Vogue revealed Tom Ford's S/S 2012 collection today. We chuckle at the fact that critics compared it to an outdated Gucci collection. We didn't hate all of it, but we do see the Gucci resemblance from the 90's. It wasn't a very cohesive collection, but we do admire him and his hard work. We love you, Tom!

Rachel Zoe S/S 2012

Rachel Zoe is arguably the most sought after stylist in the game, so it’s no surprise that she’s come out with her own inspired collection. In her own words if the line wasn’t a success, she’d be officially “over.” Fortunately for Zoe, the line is thoughtful, flawlessly tailored and current with a vintage edge.  Known for her “more is more” aesthetic, Zoe has smartly edited herself and presented a winning line lauded by Women’s Wear Daily (aka the be all and end all of critics!).  Also, much of the collection is surprisingly affordable. My favorite piece in the line are the Trapunto Stitch High Waist Pants, trousers that can be worn as a separate or as a suit pant along with an insanely chic military style jacket.  Other standouts include a pair of crocodile embossed pumps called the “Annie,” (a possible ode to her client Anne Hathaway who she’s been heard referring to as Annie) and a panther printed halter dress one could easily imagine Zoe herself traipsing around in.  Snapped up by Bloomingdales and other major retailers, this is sure to be one of many collections by Ms. Zoe.

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!
