ELIE SAAB SPRING / SUMMER 2012

After seeing so many Spring/ Summer 2012 collections I tend to think that men-designers know better how to dress a woman so that she looked perfect. I am in no way trying to say that women-designers can’t create great pieces. They can. But there is something about collections made by men that mesmerizes. For example, Elie Saab’s Spring/ Summer 2012 range is simply ideal. 46 ideal looks – feminine, sexy, exquisite… I love every piece he presented .

HANDBAGS CELINE SPRING 2012

Maddeningly, Celine tends not to show many of its bags on the runway. We get a little glimpse here and there of where Phoebe Philo’s brilliance is headed for the season, but mostly her fans are left waiting for spy pictures to surface to get a better idea of where our money will be headed in the coming months. For Celine Spring 2012, though, my money might be headed straight to the runway bag that you see above .

HANDBAGS CHLOE SPRING 2012

Psst. You guys. It’s safe to come look at these pictures from Chloe Spring 2012 because finally, at long last, Chloe has turned the handbag corner! The company had to give Hannah MacGibbon the heave-ho after last season’s disaster and bring in Clare Waight Keller from Pringle of Scotland to fix things up, but based on Chloe’s Paris Fashion Week show, it was an incredibly shrewd decision on the part of the brand’s parent company, Richemont.

HANDBAGS CHANEL SPRING 2012

No matter the season, you can always count on Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel show for at least one thing: a very strong theme. For Chanel Spring 2012, you had to look no further than Kaiser Karl’s seashell clutches to find the oceanic common thread that ran through the entire collection. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that Lagerfeld was inspired by the shore; after all, the runway was lined with sand .
