Thakoon S/S 2012 - Bollywood Boldness

I've gotta admit that i almost fainted when i saw Thakoon's first look. I can't get it. However, from 2nd to last, he made me feel like this show was in Paris. The shape, the fabric, the color were so sophisticated and beyond ordinary NYC. The print somehow didn't state what exactly the inspiration came from but the answer was clearly reveal when the last group of dress came out with one sholder shawl that derived from Indian costume. This collection is eminent and majestic.

Derek Lam S/S 2012 - Apple of NYC

I love the way Derek Lam shown his design stand point. At least i finally found that i could seperate his collection to gazillion collection in NYC. I found him deliver a strong message to his clients with sharp modern tailoring with nicely vivid color, even though, we already saw this palette since Paris F/W 2011-2. However, this collection is precious for the city of apple.

Helmut Lang S/S 2012 - the protege , really?

Five years into their career at Helmut Lang, Nicole and Michael Colovos put their collection on the runway for the first time. The entire collection look fine and edgy.It is same standard of what Authentic Helmut Lang did last 10 years. However, i felt the Helmut Lang will not do something like this now. I might expect too much from them but It's HELMUT LANG.

Alexander Wang S/S 12 - How could he create such a super-sexy athletic

He never fail to deliver the super-uber sexy.This time he brought the sporty blend to his darker side of NYC wall. The collection might be reminded to previous NY collections in past 5-7 years ago but his accent brought a whole new attitude. Who can deny that, I won't. Love Love.

Valentina

Freja Beha Erichsen appears in the ads for Valentino's first fragrance from its new licensing deal with Puig called Valentina. Love the design of bottle. It's so Valentino in new era.

Givenchy Men S/S 2012 " The Bird of Paradise"

The best show in my eyes. Unable to love Riccardo Tisci more than this point.

Kenzo Men S/S 2012 " The Happiness"

The youthful, the vibrant color, Cuban's mood and Beastie Boys were mixed up together perfectly to show how happy Antoni Marras had for this collection.

Lanvin Men S/S 2012

The theme from The Dark Knight cued a show for Lanvin that also had a heroic male as its theme. But he wore so many faces it was as though Alber Elbaz and Lucas Ossendrijver were conducting a demographic survey of the heroes of Lanvinland. What they had in common: a uniform of some kind. "The best way for men to dress," Elbaz declared. "A man in uniform is always a hero." First out was a persona the designers described as "security guard," which meant narrow, military-inflected layers scissored from bonded leather.

Louis Vuitton Men S/S 2012 "Fresh and Youthful"

Kim Jones' debut as men's style director at Louis Vuitton today was a coup similar to the one achieved by Vuitton's artistic director, Marc Jacobs, 14 years ago. A union that seemed unlikely on the surface turned out in actuality to be a relationship of remarkable, intimate compatibility. In the four months since he was appointed to the position, Jones and his team managed to turn out a collection that wove his own history into Vuitton's heritage. The common bond? Travel. Vuitton has always been the traveler's brand. Jones grew up in Kenya, and his life since has been defined by a nomadic spirit.

Mugler Men S/S 2012 "Brother of Arcadia"

After the show, Formichetti described the full mix of inspirations that fed this collection: the fabulists of Italian cinema, Fellini and Pasolini; Japanese comics; the heroic, masculine aesthetic of Herb Ritts and Bruce Weber; sport; Greek mythology. "This season, I put more of myself into it," he said. That's a lot of oneself to cram into any collection. Accordingly, Greek gods, muscle-bound frat boys, tattooed punks, and sylph-ish male models all took their turn down the catwalk, often spattered in glitter. The first boy out sported a pair of giant bronze Iron Man arms.

Rick Owens Men S/S 2012 " No Rules"

A more germane reference for the clothes he showed today was legendary couturier Cristobal Balenciaga, whose sculpted volumes are often echoed in Owens' own dramatic drapes. Using fabrics as true to couture as raw silk and shantung, Owens created his own version of the classic three-piece suit—jacket, top, and skirt—except he added a fourth layer, a tuniclike piece. "I just invented the four-piece suit," he crowed after the show.

Yohji Yamamoto Men S/S 2012

shows are unparalleled in Paris—if for no other reason than for their echt Yohji-ness. The cavalcade of boys and men (Yamamoto insists, against conventional fashion wisdom, on casting both) floating down the runway in their billowing culottes; long, almost tuniclike white shirts; and patchwork-piece jackets struck a poignant note. His play with large volumes called to mind both traditional ethnic garb and street wear, reminding you how much the expressive bagginess favored by the new generation of street-style blog courters owes to the designer (even if, alas, they don't all know they're quoting him). Seen one after the other after the other, those enormous culottes, often rippled with pleats, and alternated with ultrawide cropped pants, resounded like a sartorial gong. (The music, for what it's worth, was peppy Asian pop.) It didn't sound like much else going on in Paris this week, but it rang in your ears a bit—and Pied Piper-ishly, it seemed to call droves of Yohji faithful to huddle and wait on the tiny street outside.
