Marc Jacobs F/W 2012 Puts The Fun Back Into Fashion!

How deliriously, madly quirky is this??

Marc Jacobs put the fun back into fashion

with his Fall/Winter 2012 RTW show.

More of a spectacular than a siren song to the buyers,

the 15 minute show featured crazy-huge hats

non-body-conscious shapes,

was anti-sexy, anti establishment,

and wickedly fun.

Individual pieces will mesh perfectly into the modern wardrobe,

with opulent fabrics in fun shades of vibrant

greens, lavenders, ochers, reds and pinks.

Some of the coats and jackets were spectacular.

A slightly Victorian feel  theatrically merged 

with Dr Seuss-like sensibilities

set to “Who Will Buy” from Oliver!,

including a version by Nancy Sinatra.

Marc Jacobs. Brilliant. Again.

NYFW Fall/Winter 2012 Update

I’m way behind on New York Fashion Week posting

due to my crazy shoot schedule.

February is always a busy, busy month.

Anyway, here is a recap of some of NYFW

At Tommy Hilfiger there was a distinctly equestrian feel. 

Behnaz Sarafpour worked both a feminine silhouette and a structured form

At Catherine Malandrino 
some very sheer fabrics for fall

Always one of my favorites, Victoria Beckham celebrated an intensely

feminine form, long and lean with a nipped in waist.

At times with a slightly military feel,

with solid color blocking,

the collection was entirely wearable. 

At red carpet favorite Carmen Marc Valvo
it was full on glamour,
intensely beautiful.
Hair was slicked back and complimented by 
a full, smoky eye and a soft mouth.

NYFW Beauty Diane Von Furstenburg Fall/Winter 2012

Diane Von Furstenberg’s Fall/Winter 2012 seductive, bold and daring
collection appropriately titled “Rendezvous,” called for deep smoky
eyes, perfect nude skin, defined brows and a rose lip. To create a
strong, confident and feminine look, the hair was shiny with a deep side
part, tightly gathered in a low chignon.
