Celine Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear Details

As for the past 2 years Phoebe Philo created the signature Celine look that's smooth, sleek, and feminine, this collection for Spring 2012 has also represented beautiful shapes. "It's just very sculptural, very three-dimensional," said Philo. As delightful as the entire collection was, the details of the garments were magnificent. The shapes and silhouettes of the jackets, blouses, and sleeves remind us of the 50s to the 60s. No prints were allowed but a little simple luxury items; platform pumps with ankle straps, wide flat belts with extra large buckles, and leather envelope bags.

Maricacarla Boscono. (5'10", b.1980 Rome) It's difficult to look vulnerable and edgy at the same time, and she does it all the time. One of the few models that I just can't help looking at over and over and over on runways. Oh, long time fave!

Alexander McQueen Ready-to-Wear Spring 2012

Sarah Burton made it. Again! Her collection principles were the three Gs: Grès for the pleating and draping, Gaudí for the architecture, and Gaia for the sense of oceanic life which inspired the clothes. Truly goddesses of corals and shells, they were.
