COLOR BOMB

While Gazing in awe at Oscar De La  Renta's spring 2012 collection go down the catwalk I was deliriously in love.

It was all about the glam god...

The collection was full of beautifully hued jewel toned pieces.. Ruby reds, emerald greens and a mixture of floral prints...

The day wear was full of form fitted pieces of suits and dresses with hints of fur vests that added modern seventies vibe to the collection.

The evening wear was all about volume! The full skirts with the laced sequined tops commanded the runway, which was a total contrast from the A line silhouetted pieces and blush toned gowns with feathered accents...

Gurung Fever

The Nepalese designer hit the ground running with his spring 2012 collection...

I was full of excitement seeing all the beautiful lavender floral prints down the runway with sexy cutouts, sheer detailing and bondage accents.

The catwalk was filled with walking canvases and the splashes of color were amazing !!!

Some pieces had a more sharper edge with a futuristic touch.

Must say after seeing his spring collection my temperature is rising and I definitely caught Gurung fever...

Made In Italy

No one represents pure elegance and timeless beauty like Italian import Sophia Loren...

She captured the cinema and won her first academy award in 1961 for "Two Women".

Her style is classic, sticking to cat eye sunglasses and body hugging pieces that accentuate her curves.

Loren is a regular at all of Gorgio Armani's runway collections and at one point was even considered his muse. This explains why her style hasn't missed a mark since the beginning of her cinematic career.

To this day her presence is captivating and her style timeless.

LUCA SEXY

One of  my favorite designers that I'm extremely excited to see during New York fashion week next week is LUCA LUCA. 

Creative Director Raul Melgoza's  designs are always full of clean lines and pure sophistication with a hint of color.

Melgoza's resort 2012 collection was a mixture of pure whites and soft champagne pieces... 



Overall the collection  is quite intriguing filled with clever patterns, crisp white tunics and leaves us yearning for more of his long elegant pieces that ooze grace...

Save the date everyone this is one collection you don't want to miss!

MAD MAX

BCBG Max Azria's Resort 2012 collection definitely has a cool 70's vibe...

Lubov Azria's inspiration for this beautiful collection came from Marisa Berenson and Margaux Hemingway...

The collection is full of vibrant colored free flowing silhouettes with intricate hand embroidery and sheer lining.There are also a few black pieces mixed in as well, giving the collection a very versatile appeal.

It's maxi dress galore in this collection going from fun and  flirty to even risque...

The detailing in each piece is to die for!!! The inspiration is definitely 70's but the approach is modern...

Rock & Roll

Olivier Rousteing revealed his first collection for  Balmain's resort 2012 collection at the Paris showroom headquarters...

The 25 year old stuck to the recipe of success of the "Rock & Roll" theme Christopher Decarnin had created for the label...

Rousteing elaborate couture-grade handwork is present in the beautiful bleached Native American embroidery and military-sharp blazers with super-narrow sleeves trimmed with gold chains. 

Rousteing debut collection definitely fit the bill and his next collections will surely be just as great..

Must say I am becoming more of a  Balmain addict with each season...

KATE THE GREAT

Discovered at the age 14 at New York's JFK airport Kate Moss has graced more than 300 magazine covers...

Besides being a global icon, Kate is the face of power house labels such as Balmain, Isabel Marant and Longchamp to name a few.

Some of her catwalk highlights have been for Chanel, Chloe and Dior...

Kate's collaboration with Topshop ended with her fall/winter 2010/2011 collection and it was one to remember...

Kate has earned her nickname "Kate the Great" and is a constant source of  inspiration to me...
