ROMANCE WAS BORN SPRING/SUMMER 2012

Blam! Boom! Pow! Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia has popped off and so far so good! Today we bring you Romance Was Born’s Spring/Summer ‘12 collection flooded in fantastic superhero/comic book motifs. Designers Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett’s eye for color and details make us melt. Think power reds and royal blues, tightly bound over Wonder women in form-fitting style. Definitely not for those who don’t want to be noticed, but it is only fair to say the label just keeps getting better and better!

A YEAR IN WETHEURBAN: NYFW STREET STYLE

As 2011 comes to a close, we continue our reminiscent journey of the year with street style photo’s (taken by WeTheUrban) at the ever-so busy Lincoln Center in NYC during Spring/Summer 2012 fashion week. We bumped into fun fashion characters like Marie Claire Fashion Director, Nina Garcia, and trans breakout model of the year, Andrej Pejic, to name a few. Check it out (above)!

Pink Tartan S/S 2012 | Toronto Fashion Week

Well hello Toronto! Without an empty seat in the house, the Pink Tartan runway show is always one of the season’s best tickets. Teen Vogue’s Gloria Baume, Marie Claire’s Abigail Kalicka and Glamour’s Rachael Wang, and more were all in the house. Pink Tartan stayed true to it’s classically modern power-woman aestetic with a collection filled with laser cut accessories, ciggarette pants, and bright orange dresses. Not too shabby! What are YOUR thoughts on this collection?

MAKING OF THE LOUIS VUITTON CARROUSEL 

Here’s a cool behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Louis Vuitton carousel that charmed everyone’s pants off. Marc Jacobs definitely outdid himself with this one during the Spring/Summer 2012 Louis Vuitton show this past Paris Fashion Week: a triumph of lighting and set design and luxe springtime fashion. Check out the behind-the-scenes clip above!

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

Sarah Burton has once again done the ever-so theatrical brand, Alexander McQueen, justice. With such huge shoes to fill, she’s sure doing an absolutely amazing job. Her first models stepped out in cream and gold dresses and skirt suits, with ultra-fine pleats and wide waistbands, their head wrapped in lace that veiled the eyes but left the rest of the face exposed. Every ounce of this collection is perfection to the T. Long live McQueen!

CHANEL Spring/Summer 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

What is air?! Currently choking over Karl Lagerfeld’s latest work! The CHANEL S/S 2012 show has to rank as the best quality show (with a live performance by Florence Welche of Florence + the Machine) of all of Paris Fashion Week 2012. The show was an ocean of delights. Props to Karl for not falling back on the overdone modern day mermaid references). Offsetting light, nearly iridescent colors, ruffles, and a tad big of play with transparency were all apart of the collection this year. CHANEL get’s a AAA+!
