JILL SANDERS
aaah I love Jill Sander's simplicity. It's like a breath of fresh air...
The fashion house is known for well constructed garments and this collection shows this off quietly but confidently. I loved the way that matt and sheer were combined throughout the collection, in a not so obvious way (this means that for girls which have to wear a bra will be very happy!!) It looks like the same fabric has been used within the pieces, just with different weights. perfect. The round neck white blouse with a mid arm seam, yoke and pockets is to die for. All that construction detail is shown off with no effort AT ALL. I also loved the pleated peter pan collar short sleeve dress, wowzer!
The introduction of block colours also lifted the collection, loving the rasberry pink dress with layered hems, it adds interest to the piece, without making it fussy. There is also that stunning green (again!). Noticing that there is a lot of green shown thoughout SS12, and the bow detail on the dropped shoulder Edwardian inspired top/jacket makes it cute without making it look too girly.
Extra colour was added on the knitwear, splashes of yellow, black and blue formed the stylised Picasso prints (of whom the family was thanked in the show's notes), which teamed with mid lenght skirts create a perfect summer's outfit.
JUST CAVALLI
Just Cavalli presented a new look for the line this season. It was softer, with a hippy and rock&roll vibe to it. But of course, being Just Cavalli, there was also some sex appeal in there!
Denim trousers and Denim jackets were given some interesting features by the use of whip stitching, in contrast and tonal colours, which added to the newly founded muse of Roberto Cavalli's festival girl. Personally, I love this technique in this collection! It wasn't overdone and colours were kept classic, as it has a danger of looking tacky sometimes.
There was also a lot of print used, which included snake, leopard and floral. I loved the combination of print and feathers, as this is certainly a tribal look gone chic, perfect for those high summer nights out! Studding and printed leather also added to texture, and made the clothes very touchable and interesting.
MOSCHINO CHEAP AND CHIC
One a day keeps the doctor away....The whole concept behind this collection was healthy eating, which was portrayed quite literally in some pieces and with the use of strong, vibrant hues.
Take for instance the first look out on the catwalk- that fuschia pink dress, green bow and black shaped gem embellishment- Good enough to eat!
I also loved more of the graphic work that appeared on tops and dresses of apples and other types of fruits. It was kept simple with maximum 2-3 colours and placed on neutral backgrounds. Great to add a kooky piece into your wardrobe!
The colour blocked rainbow dress screams bestseller, and I am sure there will be copies on the high street everywhere! I can imagine this in a lovely silk crepe colour blocked shift teamed with white ballet pumps...literally got my fruity creative juices going and yearning for some sun!
The floral prints used were especially a strong point for me. I loved the high end, watercolour effect flower motifs, and the colours used again were stunning. Not so cheap but very chic!!!
