NEW YORK FASHION WEEK REPORT
spring summer 2012 collections
New York Fashion Week this season was like no other. Anyone who was anyone lined the front rows and stepped out in style to witness Spring Summer 2012 trends unveiled before their eyes. Kindred Sole Edition New York Fashion week reports from the catwalks with the hottest designers giving you the insight into next seasons trends. PREEN by THORNTON BRAGAZZI
It was a ladylike affair for Preen's Spring Summer 2012 collection, featuring pixellated prints in pastel tones. Accentuated waists, knee lengths and tailoring were the order of the day with multi coloured pastel prints. Whilst the styling was prim and proper, Preen's Spring Summer 2012 collection infuses geometric prints with frills and crochet, balancing the collection. “We were looking at Virginia Wolf, and wanted to create a collection with that sense of heritage, but make it very modern,� said the husband and wife duo.
JASON WU Now famously known for being Michelle Obama's go-to designer, Jason Wu Spring Summer 2012 collection did not disappoint. Inspiration was drawn from the late fifties with couture shapes. Whimsical fluent fabrics complimented geometric floral prints. Wu has created a Spring Summer 2012 collection that is fun yet stylish. We adore Wu's looks: effortless outfits with bed hair style hair. On our wish list are the pop art monochrome floral print items which were designed in collaboration with KAWS.
PRABAL GURUNG Fab prints - check, fab colour check, wish list items? We think so! The colouration seen at Prabal Gurung was exquisite. Purple, white and black tones in graphic prints on dresses are delightful for Spring Summer 2012. As well as soft green tones used on Tailoring. Prabal Gurung Tailoring was sharp with printed trousers styled with colour block blazer as seen at other NYFW shows. Sheer fabric and printed silk garments were aesthetically pleasing yet maybe not so practical - What do you think? DIANE von FURSTENBERG This was one show we couldn't wait to see the results from. Diane von Furstenberg is chic and confident especially with print and colour. Spring Summer 2012 was no different. Each look was strong and sleek on its own but when they came together they were equally one. We like everything from the blue fine geometric print look to the bold green white and blue head to toe look. Casually sophistication came in the turn of tailoring. Colour Block still seen at Diane von Furstenberg however for Spring Summer 2012 with softer pastel shades. DEREK LAM Derek Lam was another designer who embraced colour for Spring Summer 2012. From orange, yellow blue and white and through them all into the collections mix taking the colour block trend of last season into Spring Summer 2012. Longer lengths were the order of the day, styled with thin waist hugging belts to really elongate the figure. We love the abstract top to toe look - will this be in your Spring Summer 2012 wardrobe? Sixties architecture of Palm Springs was the inspiration with simple, elegant lines in a variety of colour tones. Styled with sleek hair do's, all eyes were on the garments.
LONDON FASHION WEEK REPORT
spring summer 2012 collections London Fashion Week is known for being at the heart of fashion, embracing young British talent and creating fabulous diverse trends which we show off to the world. The Spring Summer 2012 shows were no different. Designers embraced colour throughout London Fashion Week and the use of print was extra-ordinary!
BURBERRY PRORSUM
Over 1500 guests attended the Burberry Prorsum Spring Summer 2012 Womenswear show in London’s Hyde Park including Sienna Miller and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. The colour palette included forest green, plum and mustard and wintery under tones. Waists were a focal point with belts and high waist skirts. Burberry Prorsum is one of the most recognised British heritage brands and its Spring Summer 2012 collection embraced this effortlessly. A seventies twist appeared in the style of prints. The signature Burberry trench coat made another appearance in both turquoise leather and woven check. TEMPERLEY
Spring Summer 2012 draws inspiration from the silver screen, namely Grace Kelly in High Society and movie stills of Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface. The resultant collection is elegant, sensual and ultra glamorous. Soft tuxedo looks are given a twist. Fluid, lean lines have been juxtaposed with draped kimono capes in oversized floral prints. A recognisably Temperley colour palette of creams, soft nudes, pistachio and lemon is shot through with graphic navy and white. The result is a decadent, high octane collection of timeless pieces that are integrally Temperley in celebration of their tenth anniversary.
CHRISTOPHER KANE
Among the front row or 'FROW' at Christopher Kane Spring Summer 2012 show was Kanye West, Eliza Doolittle and Erin O'Connor. Spring Summer 2012 collection at Christopher Kane was smothered with floral print and embellishment. The collection had an overall refreshing look about it. Print styled with print was created effortlessly and a trend to watch for S/S 2012. Printed outfits were then styled with matching print chunky rubber sole sandals. Bold, glistening floral prints on soft organza dresses were our favourite's. ERDEM
Signature floral prints were the key look at Erdem S/S 2012 show set in the ballroom at The Savoy. There was a strong tailoring presence with dresses, trousers and skirts all cut to perfection. Colour tones were fairly muted from blue to yellow with the floral prints making them appear bold. Laser cut lace added to the femininity of the show especially when styled with busy prints. Detailed collars were seen on dresses and shirts. Skirts and dress hemlines finished at the knee for a lady like look. Nude lace dresses made an appearance towards the end of the show which balanced the collection. HOUSE OF HOLLAND
Described as 'Pastel Punk's', the House of Holland collection has done it again - made a strong, bold collection that will inspire many. Henry Holland is known for being a celebrity and paparazzi favourite with his front row including Eliza Doolittle, Pixie Geldof, Nicola Roberts and Lorraine Kelly. The catwalk was decorated with giant leopard print which was later seen within the collection. Key looks included high waisted garments, paint and bleached jeans and bold prints. Signature House of Holland tartan prints in purple and blue was used in tailoring.

''This
season is all about boyish
beauty. Subtle tones echoing those naturally found on bare lids took centre stage on catwalks. Skin was impeccable; teamed with bold brows and masculine hair for an androgynous look. I will be keeping my lips clean and my nails
We wanted to get the inside gossip on the A/W make up trends from the girls in the know: Make Up Bloggers! Take a look:
matte for an edgy twist. Think of Agyness Deyn and Carey Mulligan for inspiration. Time to man up and get on trend. Boyish Beauty at Missoni

Make Me Up Kia
"Autumn Winter make up trends for the season are all about Lady Like Glamour. The red lip is key and the smokey eye has a new twist with metallic shades.
"
says Ariane Poole London Cosmetics Smokey Eyes at Ariane Poole London
"The most attractive make up trend this winter for me is the nude lip trend. It's when you have on a lip colour that looks natural like light pink or even a very light shade of brown. Nude lips also go really well with smokey eyes which is also on the trend report this A/W! At the 2011 vma the red carpet was full of celebs rocking the natural lip look such as Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian and Beyonce.
I would recommend Maybelline colour sensational lipstick in colours coral fever and 125 shimmer pink to kindred sole readers who would like to try out Todd Lynn Nude Lips
this trend.
" says Bree at Cosmetic Collision

''My favourite A/W make up trends are the sassy, modinspired spider lashes that have been gloriously ruling the fashion runways! To get the spider lash look, use a black thickening mascara that also lengthens, such as Dior DiorShow Mascara. The trick is to apply the mascara by holding the wand both horizontally and vertically. Here's How: Hold the mascara wand horizontally against the roots of your lashes and wiggle the wand as you guide it towards the tips. Do the wiggling motion from roots to tips from the outer corner to the inner corner of your lashes. Add a second & third coat
while the applied
mascara is wet. With the tip of the wand, use the excess mascara there by running it vertically through your lashes
Mui Mui Spider Lashes
from roots to tips and applying a second coat to only the tips of the lashes. Use a lash comb to keep mascara from looking clumpy. Finally, coat bottom lashes with two coats of mascara in both horizontal and vertical angles. Emphasize the dramatic look by adding white eyeliner to the eyes inner rims and keep the rest of your makeup simple to let your eyes be the centre of attention!
'' says
Demzy at J'adore La Dolce Vita
Bold Lips at Nichole Farhi
''Bold and daring lips are a must for the coming A/W season, so for those of you who like to make a statement and stand out you’ll love experimenting with reds, corals, violets, and even black coloured lipsticks. I absolutely love this trend because a vivid lipstick can add an extra edge to any outfit, with a bright pink or an intriguing violet you can instantly make a plain dress the star attraction. However, this trend is certainly not for the faint hearted. So be brave, go bold, and ooze confidence with a bright or vampy coloured lippy.
'' says Kerry Harrison at The Doll House
