Chris Benz Spring 2012 Fashion Presentation

Chris Benz Spring 2012
Runway Review Snippet... New York's charming prince of color & prints, Chris Benz, showed off his brilliantly quirky ode to fantastical Upper East Side eccentricity on the much talked about male model Andrej Pejic for a dizzying riff on infamous 60's cult icon Candy Darling. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Benz's collection shone alongside many of his print heavy peers thanks to a relaxed, slouchy silhouette and intense color choices that were played down by the kind of classic shapes women have been drawn to since that era.  -- Naveed Hussain SHOP: What's in store now for Chris Benz at Shopbop

Jil Sander Navy Spring 2012 Fashion Presentation

Jil Sander Navy Spring 2012
Runway Review Snippet... Platform brogues punctuated a youthful, tomboyish and relaxed spirit from an otherwise characteristically utilitarian outing from Jil Sander's secondary line, Jil Sander Navy. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS While knife-pleated skirts and prim blouses made for a bulk of the collection, the real draw to the range came via a subversive and vaguely military ode to Girl Scouts and to uniform dressing as a whole. And just like Jil Sander's main line, there were plenty of smart separates with universal appeal and a slight jolt of the unexpected that were anything but timely to get you retooling your wardrobe.  --Naveed Hussain SHOP Jill Sander Navy in store now: More Jil Sander...

Cut25 by Yigal Azrouel Spring 2012 Fashion Presentation

Cut 25 by Yigal Azrouel - Spring 2012
Consisting of mostly body-conscious mini dresses with graphic cut-outs in an array of electrifying neons, Yigal Azrouel's Cut 25 presentation was somehow able to reach a more relaxed momentum than the kind of party-girl sexy his chosen range of silhouettes might suggest. And that's a good thing as we at FocusOnStyle have seen enough skin-tight body-con dressed open-toe bootied girls than we can bear. And thankfully by the looks of it, Azrouel has had enough too. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS He was able to achieve this thanks to a clever play on relaxed sportif notes, graphic contrasting lines, acid pastels and alluring cool neutrals combined with unexpected techno-washed fabrics and multi-dimensional layering. His wood soled platform brogues and boots in

For absolute dress-up this line can suit a woman from 18-70, something wearable for all ages worn from cocktail parties to the red carpet.

Jen Kao Spring 2012 fashion show

Runway Review Excerpt: Jen Kao reminds us of the unique creativity that can be toyed with in ready to wear dressing, that light spirit inspires us all to dress well and want to stand out in the crowd. The Spring 2012 collection was my first Jen Kao show, and not to be the last, as I was in awe by the creative beauty she brings to fashion and I found myself wanting several items from line.  This showcased fashion as a wearable art form with intricate cut-outs and seaming, checkerboard knits, printed chiffon ruffles and oragami headpieces complimenting the looks, although certainly not meant to be worn. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS The  highly feminine silhouettes and a soft color palette made

Michael Kors Spring 2012 Fashion Show, chic and simple animal print jungle

Runway Review Excerpt: Bravo, with this Michael Kors collection, simplicity still exudes luxury, no matter how long you've been trapped in the Amazon!  A luxury private jet filled with women crashes in the Amazon jungle and luckily everyone survives.  When the survivors are found one week later, they are all wearing the Spring 2012 Michael Kors collection! Torn and loosely knit sweaters, oil stained anoraks, tie dye wrap skirts, nonchalantly draped dresses hanging from the body with snake skin, chunky tribal neckpieces and gnarled hair is what the collection consists of and is precisely what our lost yet tasteful Amazonian girl would look like. The overall palette is very warm and rich and doesn't really scream Spring, but it's appropriate for

Anna Sui Spring 2012

Runway Review Except: The old world, highly feminine glamour is missing from current fashion trends and Anna Sui smoothly mixes retro + sexy, making you want to pucker up that red pout and blow a kiss to the waving men on the boat deck. The Anna Sui Spring 2012 collection channeled a glamorous 1940's girl all dolled up to impress the boys of Fleet Week!   Fire engine red lipstick, cartoonish jewelry, bow belts and ankle socks worn with patent leather mary janes all fit the bill and made fun with the art deco style fashions.  Sequin and fur bedroom jackets worn over frilly ruffle dresses or high waist short-shorts and a sailor cap gave us the glam of the era, and

Tommy Hilfiger spring 2012 fashion show Runway Review: Redefines the classic prepster with bold, head turning statements and fresh silhouettes A bright, modern prep statement was clearly made at the Tommy Hilfiger spring 2012 show where it was anything but old school country club attire. The show kicked off with large glen plaids in pink, blue and tangerine orange and the plaids continued, it is Tommy afterall, in pop colors and mod 60's silhouettes. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Then we had bright wide stripes on chunky knit sweaters, smooth leather jackets, skirts and dresses, boldly placed stripes, an abstract camo print and huge color blocked caftans evoking a 70's decadence. A rich palatte of sunny yellow, cranberry,

Betsey Johnson Spring 2012 Fashion Show serves up sexy girl power

Runway Review Excerpt: If your goal this Spring involves snagging a man, or men, with your sexy girl-power and making them putty in your hand - this collection is for you babe. *I left this show GLOWING... so bubbly and happy!!  Best show season after season* Those heated, sexual energy butterflies we are all familiar with having in our stomachs were fluttering around in full force through the captivated audience at Betsey Johnson's Spring 2012 collection!

Custo Barcelona Spring 2012 Runway raves with it’s mind-blowing fashion meets art palette

Runway Review: The Spring 2012 Custo Barcelona collection was perhaps the most wearable I have seen in many seasons! Has Custo Dalmau strayed from his wonky roots to make something more sellable?! No, definitely not, however you will have no problem shopping for strong, out of this world items that don't feel tailored solely to the Lady Gaga's of the world. As always the color palette is psychedelic and not toned down whatsoever. As a matter of fact, that concept applies to the eye catching prints that are reminiscent of the Rorschach ink blot test, combined with fluid watercolors and a splash of the acid tripping 60's tie-dye's. Don't leave out the texture, because you will find plenty of sequins,
