How could I have missed the Giles Spring Summer 2012 show? What a gorgeous collection. He is hands down one of my favorite designers at this point along with Francesco Scognamiglio and now Frida Giannini (wasn't too sure about her until now). Have a look at Giles' white swan, black swan and red swan showcase.♡
what a juxtaposition of old and future. a dainty dress in metallic silver? so amazing. all the shoes are amazing, too.
i love these flowing moo-moo type dresses. with the swan patterns.
black swan
i always love a sheer lace dress.
look at the shoes.
red swan
a little bit marjan pejoski here.
great giles glasses, per usual.
giles...
the famous marjan pejoski swan dress that bjork wore oh so long ago.
The Gucci Spring Summer 2012 collection is probably my most favorite in years of any collection. It's just too gorgeous for words. I hope everyone can see how much more sexy a flow-y 20s/30s dress can be compared to some tight chonchy expect-able look. Everything in this collection was amazing. I think it was better than Tom Ford's stuff, too. Sorry, but I do. It's been really interesting, though, to see how much Miuccia Prada's influence has taken over this season because of her amazing Prada show and silhouettes from last season. You're seeing loads of flapper-ish styles and 20s and 30s looks. Thank God.
This is a show post, but also a THURSDAY SHOE and WEDNESDAY BAG post all together.♡
Here are a couple of my favorite pieces and some other things...
one of my favorite dresses. this is so 20s/30s and so amazing. love love love love love love love.
another one of my favorite dresses. so amazing. just an amazing amazing look. i would kill for anything from this collection, but i esp love this piece and the dress above. she really outdid herself.
gold and black. amazing. watch the video.
gorgeous snake (?) detail bracelet! i have a vintage bracelet like this. i carry it around with me because i love it so much. look at the detail on the skirt, too. amazing.
ok...where do i start here? the bag? amazing. the ring??? so so so amazing. just a perfect detail to a perfect collection.
this bag style is a vintage 70s style. i have a few vintage designer bags this style, including an oleg cassini that i love. it's a rad, simple, timeless bag you can wear forever.
green python. speechless. love love.
patent croc. this looks like a gorgeous vintage bag.
probably my favorite bag. this is what i think of when i think of gucci. this kind of classic cool rockstar chicness. i was so sick of that hippy stuff.
dear santa...these will be knocked off. just watch. great great idea.
probably my favorite shoe of the collection and of the season so far. my mom had a pair of shoes this style she kept from the 70s. but i don't think it had a snake on it! i have to own these. they are amazing. this is totally my style and anyone who knows me and my taste knows that.
here is the vintage oleg cassini bag. not the same as the gucci fabulousness. but you can see the vintage style is the same.
This Spring Summer 2012 collection from Meadham Kirchhoff was strange. I was totally lost by it. Though, there are some really cute pieces in the collection. I also think that the Japanese market, especially all the Lolitas and Gyarus are going to go crazy for these looks. Check it out and see for yourself.♡
i love the model. and i love the cardigan. and the red thigh-highs. but maybe not all together.
i love this cardigan!
i would never wear this overall, but i love the graphic aspect of it.
i would love to own this sweater/jumper. i love it.but nothing else.
i think the only thing i really like about this is the shape of the dress...it reminds me of maybe a marie antoinette undergarment or something?
same here. only this is kind of pretty.
same here.
same here again. if you put the last couple looks together in a marie antoinette parody, it would work.
the only thing i love here are the showgirl bottoms. they're so old hollywood! i also love the nude knee-highs.
very strange. but interesting. :)
Here's an example of a Lolita girl who would wear these outfits as-is. Pearmaiden from YouTube:
I only really love one piece from Richard Nicoll's Spring Summer 2012 collection. Though, everything does look very RN. But there was one I had to feature even though this season didn't super turn me on. It's this gorgeous shiny pink dress!♡
i also love the shoes. and the hair. so cute. would love to own this piece.
