Using Roy Lichtenstein’s imagery as inspiration for her Fall 2012 collection, Karla Spetic creates a brand new color palette for the famous art, rich in blush, baby blue and dove grey. These subdued colors are a perfect match against the addition of leopard prints, lipstick reds and acid yellows. All around a perfect balance, creating a light, playful feminine collection with a hint of edge. I’m especially drawn to the silk organza skirted dresses.

Leandro Dominguez has filled his Winter 2012 collection with oversized knits and skirts paired with tailored trousers and structural jackets in appropriate colors of the season plus a hint of persimmon. Imagery of flora and fauna reminiscent of block prints are peppered throughout, transforming ordinary garments into wearable art. Pieces throughout this collection mix feminine styles with cuts inspired by menswear; all appearing comfortable, young and stylish.

To say that I love sunglasses is an understatement. I would die for a pair of Karen Walker shades, especially the pair above from her Summer 2012 collection: Karen’s Little Aliens.

Neons mixed with neutrals mixed with plaids mixed with stripes mixed with color, color, color!! I think I’ll be making a trip to Madewell this fall to spike my wardrobe with grass green skinny cords.

Stella Jean’s Spring Summer 2012 collection marries a variety of cultures through contrasting fabrics, cuts and silhouettes. Patterns inspired by African batik prints take center stage in each piece of this collection, competing against bulky jewels, slick hats and striped belts.

Chris Benz‘s resort collection reflects 90’s culture at its best. Think vacationing in the sun with your cool older sister; her hair pulled up in a sloppy, sexy up-do, smacking on her bubblegum and bouncing her hips in boredom. This collection combines sexy 50’s silhouettes with spunky, youthful colors and patterns layering knits, sheers, laces and silks to create a comfy yet flirty look.

Massimo Giorgetti in partnership with the Paoloni Group created the brand MSGM in 2008. Season after season MSGM stays fresh by mixing captivating new ideas and current trends inspired by the expressive aesthetic of contemporary musicians and artists. The Pre-Fall 2012 line layers kaleidoscopic shapes on top of florals on top of saturated brights into feminine and sophisticated silhouettes.
