JEAN PAUL GAULTIER SPRING 2012 COUTURE

Absolutely NOTHING beats couture! Jean Paul Gaultier proves this in his salute to the iconic late Amy Winehouse in his latest collection. Models graced the catwalk in Amy’s signature almost cartoon-like style with cigarettes, big hair, thick eyeliner, and beauty spots galore. Referencing her unique mix of floaty silhouettes, tight bustiers and sportswear, the effect was one of tomboyish femininity. LOVE! Peep some footage from the show (above)

GIVENCHY SPRING 2012 COUTURE

So much YES! Despite Givenchy’s change from last season’s ethereal gowns of ivory, Ricardo Tisci managed to create an enchanting collection that was a cross between punk and turn of the century glamour girl.

Models including Natasha Poly, Kristen McMenamy and Saskia de Brauw wore oversized bullrings and earrings which also made quite a popular appearance in Givenchy’s menswear show earlier this month. Perfect touch to this edgy collection filled with crocodile skin, leathers, and hand beaded crystals, no?
