“Models graced the catwalk in Amy’s signature almost cartoon-like style with cigarettes, big hair, thick eyeliner, and beauty spots galore. Referencing her unique mix of floaty silhouettes, tight bustiers and sportswear, the effect was one of tomboyish femininity. LOVE!” (WeTheUrban)
Valentino Couture Spring/Summer 2012
Paris, January 25, 2012
Floral prints were a key feature in Valentino’s Spring/Summer 2012 couture collection today. The palette was very neutral, there was was no bold orange like we saw in Versace or there was no bright pinks or cool blues that dominated Elie Saab, but rather a simple and crisp base colour for the gorgeous prints. These prints are very feminine and very simple, but on the perfectly designed garment, I think it just looks divine.
What I liked the most about this collection was the mix of materials that was used. I just adored the fact some of the garments had a sheer material over the top, I just thought that looked really beautiful and very couture. I also love the fact that the collection felt very vintage. There was no sexy and seductive designs like Versace, but rather elegant and classic designs that scream sophistication and class.

Elie Saab Couture Spring/Summer 2012
Paris, January 25, 2012
Lebanese fashion designer, Elie Saab, is probably one of the most talented designers around when it comes to designing beautiful jaw-dropping couture garments and I was certain his Spring/Summer 2012 collection was going to be impressive. For me, Elie Saab is the king of couture and this is especially so after Givenchy’s couture collection for SS12.
This collection is truly beautiful and his choice of colours is perfectly romantic from pretty pinks to cool light blues. The embroidery on the garments is breathtaking and all of the hemlines and silhouettes work with the models frame to reveal a gorgeous physique. Elie Saab’s designs are popular with the likes of Cleine Dion, Angelina Jolie and Aishwarya Rai and I can see this collection being very popular with many more celebrities.
I was waiting for this collection and the wait was worth it.
