Norman Ambrose S/S 2012



















Inspired by, "the Sun glistening on the Mediterranean like a sea of diamonds", Norman Ambrose epitomizes the word "Luxurious" for his S/S 2012 collection. Every piece was a jaw dropping ensemble a combination of sexy and demure was a marriage of perfection. Gold, silver, platinum, onyx, emeralds, and copper shine flawlessly on sexy shear dresses and on refined one piece jumpsuits. For me the Norman Ambrose S/S 2012 collection alludes to a story of a vacation in St. Tropez that ends with a red carpet moment in Monaco and jet setting to India and attending the court of some wealthy Maharaja.
Obviously, my favorite piece of the collection (first picture above) was the gold brocade jumpsuit paired with the golden bolero and gold belt. A few designers attempt to create a jumpsuit, but I feel the material they use such as satin or light cotton make their pieces seem cheap, but because in this case a heavier brocade fabric was used it screamed luxury! Another one that I love and feel it would look amazing on Jennifer Garner is the blush embroidered tulle evening gown (look #19). The detailing on the waistline and the flexes of platinum and rose gold on the bottom border of the gown glisten spectacularly.
Finally,one has to mention the sunset copper dressing gown and beaded swimsuit (look #23) the last picture. This piece was breath taking and simply jaw dropping as it floated through the runway like a butterfly, and the copper color - J'Adore!
I felt that Norman Ambrose S/S 2012 collection had an amazing story that was expressed brilliantly through clothes.
