NYFW: Nanette Lepore Fall 2012

I really love Nanette Lepore's Fall 2012 line. The colors are gorgeous and vibrant, and I love the addition of colorful metallics. The tailoring and mix of prints is also exquisite. 

What was one of your favorite lines from New York Fashion Week?

Kenzo Pre-Fall 2012

I am loving Kenzo's pre-fall line. The mix of prints, lengths, and textures is just gorgeous.

Missoni Mayhem

Who isn't obsessed with Missoni?

Here are some of my favorite looks from their pre-fall 2012 line. The collection is highlighted by chevron prints, furry accents, and chic outerwear. Underneath the layers are a mix of form-fitting dresses accented by chunky high-waisted belts. While this is a bit unusual for Missoni, I think it adds a luxurious and ultra-sexy tone to the whole line. I am loving the play on length and texture, but the collection is brought together by the evening wear. It is not often that Missoni puts out formal attire, and its done just so fabulously. Overall this is an exciting pre-fall collection!

Gucci Gucci Gucci

This weekend Gucci will be celebrating its 90th birthday in Florence. To kick off the celebration, Gucci presented its Spring 2012 ready-to-wear line in Milan this week. I love the ultra-tailored androgyny and the early-modern architectural lines of each piece. I am such a modern and contemporary architecture nerd that its actually a little embarrassing, so the lines that Frida Giannini creates in every look are incredibly inspiring. The colors, especially the gold, exude a sense of opulence obviously paralleled by the styles in the 1920s. The whole collection is cool, sexy, and reminiscent of Gucci's roots.
