pre-fall 2012 rtw collection reem acra

Luminosity seems to be the focus of this collection. The atmosphere is typical red carpet, where to shine and be ultra-feminine is the essence. So cocktail and evening dresses are enriched with thousands of shiny sequins and are made with luminescent tone fabrics. Tapered silhouettes alternate with those characterized by a tight waistline and large vaporous skirts. –vogue.it

Reem Acra

Pre-Fall 2012 RTW Collection

Reem Acra has been banking on her ornate bridal and evening gowns for some time now, but for pre-fall, the designer isn’t limiting herself to the sequin-heavy looks for which she’s known. While there were plenty of those signature paillettes in her new collection, Acra also experimented with sportswear separates like day-to-night tailored jackets and pencil skirts, and integrated leather into her lineup for the second season in a row. The leather dresses here were a refreshing departure, especially a cobalt blue version with laser-cut flowers. In the end, though, the best look was classic Acra: a relatively simple, lipstick red gown with delicate Chantilly lace insets that should appeal to her red-carpet and gala-going clientele. –style.com + photos

That said, it’s no wonder the size, shape and color of men’s frames have become varied and unique to befit a [...]

The fab five: Fade to white

White nail polish got a big boost at the Spring shows last September when it turned up on the runway at Rag & Bone and Moschino — and an even bigger boost when Rihanna rocked the stark opaque color to an LA Lakers game over Christmas with Chris Brown, which turned out to be the couple’s unofficial “we’re back together” announcement (they have since split… again). It’s an unexpected, albeit wonderful alternative to more predictable pastels as the warmer weather graces us with [...]

Italian menswear line Gagliardi debuts sharp suit separates for Summer

Man is an evolutionary creature who demands an equally versatile, adaptable and no-hassle wardrobe. The ubiquitous suit often dominates menswear runways, and tends to fall into the “business casual” or “evening” categories, with little options for everyday wear in between. Italian menswear line Gagliardi intends to spice up the conception of rigid menswear with its sporty new collection that combines catwalk detailing with classic tailoring for a revamped approach to spring. Distinctly incorporating Mediterranean heritage into the garments, Gagliardi’s spring collection [...]
