Lela Rose S/S 2012: Splashes of Beauty
Vibrant, feminine, and yet powerful are all quintessential descriptions for designer Lela Rose. Inspired by the "Neon Graveyard" ( unrestored and broken neon signs that fill the Las Vegas and Coney Island landscape), Lela Rose Spring / Summer 2012 collection diffused some of the brightest neon colors into a soft pastel like hue to simulate how neons would fade overtime. Similar to a finely crafted painting, silks, organza, tulle, and cottons were all the canvases taking in colors such as faded lemon, periwinkle, and neon tangerine. Statement pieces in the collection reflected a wonderful watercolor painting. I'm particularly in love with the khaki double faced jacket interior lined in the neon orange and paired with a blocked knit and panelled short (picture below on left). Certainly, the collection was a wonderful marriage of soft faded hues and electrifying neons, a great story of what happens to the 'new' as time passes- all the while telling a wonderful story.

Yigal Azrouel S/S 2012: Men's Collection
 |
| FAVORITE ENSEMBLE OF THE S/S 2012 COLLECTION |
 |
| Definitely a continuing trend: denim jacket with leather sleeves |
Yigal Azrouel S/S 2012 Menswear Collection explores utility with a whole new take, combining lightweight fabrics, graphic design, and sporty details. The collection focused on making pieces lightweight for summer but without sacrificing amazing and luxurious fabrics like wool, leather, and cotton twill. This season, the proportions and silhouettes were more relaxed and definitely youthful, but never losing any sophistication. I can't help but talk about my favorite piece of the entire collection (first photo) the distressed gray leather jacket paired with cream cotton twill drawsting pants. Something about the pieces speaks casual sophistication, an ensemble that can go from daytime wear, and directly into a fun night at a chic club or lounge. Overall, the entire collection was definetly about being bold but naturally 'cool' : effortless chic!
