Fall 2012 Couture: Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd July

To be honest, with all the work I have on, I completely forgot couture week was starting and shamefully I didn't keep good track of the resort shows! Once I went on Style and Vogue and saw the collections beginning though, I knew I had to post about a couple of them straight away. 

On Monday, Versace kicked off Couture week with an absolutely stunning collection as always. She painted the picture of the modern warrior woman, engulfing female strength, with a very Versace array of crystals, sculptural designs and an overall sexiness. There were complex constructed A Line trenches and the most amazing dresses handcrafted to perfection.


I was surprised that my favourite collection from Tuesday was not Chanel as I thought, but the Armani Prive collection. It has a very midnight vixen feel with colours in navy, lilac, black, silver and ombre versions of these. Involved in the designs was a futuristic perspective, but on a muted level that still allowed complete elegance. The embellished pieces were the most stunning and the sculptural but soft shapes were gorgeous.
