Paco Rabanne Fall 2012 RTW Collection

Gareth Pugh Spring 2012 - Paris Fashion Week
It's no secret that the Gareth Pugh brand is not going to endorse mainstream trends such as floral prints anytime soon. Instead, the designer, who has collaborated with Matthew Stone and Ruth Hogben in order to bring his collection to the state of masterpiece, focused on geometry to take his designs over the edge. A dose of fetishism becomes immediately apparent, especially if we take into account the fact that the show opened with the naked former plus-size model Crystal Renn. With the notable aggressive touch that became apparent from the ...

Nina Ricci Spring 2012 - Paris Fashion Week
After a few masculine touches at the beginning of the Paris Fashion Week, it seems that femininity is regaining terrain in collections of brands like Nina Ricci. As designer Peter Copping himself states, the latest designs in the spring 2012 collection are “Very chic, very French” and mentions the fact that he took inspiration from haute couture: “Sixties couture, if you like”.

Christian Dior Spring 2012 - Paris Fashion Week
Until John Galliano's successor will be named, it was Bill Gaytten's mission to create the Christian Dior spring 2012 collection showcased at Paris Fashion Week. The result?
