I'm ecstatic to see that this year luxurious colors and svelt sexy silhouettes are back on the red carpet for the 2012 Golden Globes. There may have been an abundance of mermaid tail dresses, but each of the 'hits' were definite stunners and drop dead gorgeous; leading the pack is the ever gorgeous Sofia Vergara in peacock feathers detail Vera Wang. Of course sought after designers such as Atelier Versace, Gucci, Dior, Giles, Giorgio Armani, Nina Ricci, Zac Posen, Ferragamo, and Marchesa are amongst my choices for best dress and tuxedo suits on the carpet for the Golden Globes this year.

During fashion week after several days of insanity and practically living on the New Jersey transit and train, I rushed to upload pictures and without verifying if everything was done completely I erased my memory card and went back to the tents. Sadly one of the shows that didn't upload was the Pamella Roland presentation. Everything from the clothes to the picture I took with Nigel Barker (Judge on America's Next Top Model) and his wife, and several other celebrities..all gone!
After searching my phone I found one picture and it was of the piece that I found exemplified the story and the entire collection. Though the entire collection was stunning, I felt drawn to the glitz of the sequins and how it was applied skillfully like splashes of paint unto a textile canvas. Then, it all made sense, the story of the collection was made cohesive with the clothes being presented through picture frames because the clothes themselves were a magnificent work of art. Literally, the mermaid cut dresses were stunningly covered in sequins ranging from all colors of the turquois sea, or in alternating black and white.
It's definitely a shame that I wiped out all my pictures of the presentation, and I hope to get another chance during F/W 2012.
Spring + Summer 2012 for Manolo Blahnik brings color and island breeze collaborations with both Tribune and Gregory Parkinson. With Tribune, Manolo Blahnik uses punches of color through bamboo prints and python exotic skins, and hints of 70's prints both in pumps and ankle strap heels. For its collaboration with Gregory Parkinson, Manolo Blahnik uses pastel colors of pink and light khaki with the always staple white for summer in its cross over strappy heel with the front buckle detail.
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.
