white, frothy fashion.

One of the commonalities that struck me while perusing the fashions for next season was the frequent use of delicate, detailed white fabric. Whether it was Louis Vuitton's amazing 1960s flower ensembles or Elie Saab's gorgeous lace and chiffon dresses, many looks on the runway evoked a breezy spring day. While Women's Wear Daily stated that choosing white is "not the most surprising color choice for spring, ... what's impressive is how designers at Paris Fashion Week manipulated white into so many exceptional sculptural silhouettes."
Despite the fact that no white piece of clothing is ever safe on or around me, I can't help but want each & every one of these beauties in my Spring 2012 wardrobe.











Finding its transcendence into everyday fashion is not my want for white, either: Lady Gaga was seen out just recently rocking a similar style to the models above in her white, lacy frock :)

made in the spade.

Just last Tuesday, Deborah Lloyd, creative director of Kate Spade New York, held a fabulous press conference that presented their Spring 2012 collection, which featured prints by australian artist, Florence Broadhurst. Women's Wear Daily reported that Lloyd has acquired 12 of the motifs, three of which are featured in the spring lineup — a hexagon pattern and two black-and-white Japanese florals.

Spade totally aces it for next season-- classic pieces, A-line skirts, cleverly catchy phrases on shirts, pops of color, & everything being so simple yet so marvelously new & fresh & chic-- it's hard to not have an early case of spring fever just looking at the collection.

Grab your crazy shoes, red lipstick, and cat eye sunglasses, Anna Sui is in the building!

Said to be inspired by Club Sept in 1970s Paris, Anna Sui's Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear collection is the retro spin on the 21st century woman. While keeping her usual m.o. of beautiful patterns and prints, her disco looks dominated the runway this season in purple, red, and black. Not one look was featured without a hat or head wrap (also seen in Karen Walker's runway show--possible accessory comeback?), red lipstick, crazy pumps or platform brogues. The show transitioned from badass to delicate darling, encompassing all takes on the modern 70s female flair.
