dirty little trends: top designs - spring 2012 ready to wear

while style spotters flitted off to fashion capitals around the world, i sat in my dorm room aimlessly clicking through the seasons fashion shows via the world wide web. as depressing as the thought of not ACTUALLY being able to see the creations in person, watching the shows live in pajamas while cuddling under my blankets might have been enough incentive. i may or may not be very obsessed with the latest spring collections. here are some of my top designs.

ALBERTA FERRETTI- bold colors, tropical tones, cut outs and tribal patterns. the knee length cuts and maxi fits lead to a great palate and relaxed look. 

BCBG MAX AZRIA- one of the top trends, color blocking, is a main focus of this design execution. the flowing dresses, sheer rain coat and lightweight draping leads to a comfortable fit with a pop of color. 

FENDI- the sheer, the black, the swirls, the structure. the smoldering vamp version of a mod silhouette. fendi perfectly executed the 'attention to detail' with low cut swirled gowns and 1940's inspired chest cut-out dress. 

GUCCI- leave it to gucci to bling it out'. the simple striped pattern tends to speak miles when made of metallics, silvers and bright golds. your eyes get lost in the optical illusions embedded in the designs as they are perfectly placed on the right parts of body.

3.1 PHILLIP LIM- to neutralize the palate and welcome a new year, philip lim sticks to pastels, whites and light greys. the clean lines and loose structure leads to a sophisticated pep in one's step. the striped tops are interestingly modern and lend a virginized homage to the darker bondage trend.
