Stella McCartney Spring/Summer 2012 collection

Stella McCartney Spring/Summer 2012 collection

Shorter with mixed prints and white mesh separated by three-dimensional 
swirls of corded embroidery was the bulk of McCartney's collection this 
season. Gone is the season of tight clingy dresses, the new inspiration seems 
to be art. This collection is highly creative and looks very A level textiles inspired, which 
isn't a bad thing. McCartneys profits have been going up since the start of this 
year and don't show any sign of slowing down with the preview of next season.

Trend mood boards for Enarmore Eco company

Completed these Trend mood boards for Enarmore Eco company.

They wanted inspiration from up and coming trends for their new 

collections, so i sourced some designer collections for Spring/Summer 

2012 that i really loved or thought would be in keeping with there 

modern minimalist style they are building. 

Michael Van Der Ham

Michael Van Der Ham Spring/Summer collection

The prints that opened Michael van der Ham's show were such a clever idea, 

you almost felt a lightbulb pop up over your own head. The designer had frozen 

his signature fabric collages as images of torn swatches on smart crepe de 

chine blouses and scarf-wrap skirts. You can even get your hands on some 

similar yet cheaper pieces from the designer at Topshop online now.

Michael van der Ham's AW11 collection for Topshop. Fall for grown-up 
pieces with a fun, irreverent edge, in his signature collage style. Colours 
pop and clash, while unexpected fabrics play out over his neat shapes.

Jonathan Saunders Spring/Summer 2012

Jonathan Saunders Spring/Summer 2012 Pjs vs Desperate housewives

Inspired by Mad men's January Jones with a flick of black eye liner and 

a slightly bouffant-ed ponytail to broadcast her bad-girl credentials. 
The designer himself claims the colour palette was 'the sugary shades of south 

beach' sunsets, beaches, pools you name it. I really adore the colourings but 

the shapes are very simple and i feel the looks have been done before.

Proenza Schouler NYFW

Proenza Schouler were inspired by architecture, cutting edge and new 

shapes. Juxtaposition of colours, prints and lots of layers combined with a 

very forties look. There were buttoned-up-to-the-neck shorts suits perched 

on wooden platform shoes, and button-down shirts cropped above flaring, 

high-waisted shorts or an A-line skirt. The colours were browns and blacks 

for the most part, with some white and shots of yellow.

Stella adverts never fail to amaze

Since a young age, I can always remember having adverts pinned to

my walls. A regular had to be the likes of Chloe and Stella McCartney.

McCartney always amazes me every season with a completely new 

take of that seasons trends, whether she is homing in on childhood loves 

(didn't everyone love Bambi!) or collaborating with bff Kate moss 

to create stunning beach shots, she always manages to do something different.

Twenty8Twelve Resort 2012

 In there fall 2010 collection, savannah and sienna Miller presented 

some lovely pieces; such as the multi coloured giant cardigan, 

black tops with fringed shoulders, and a fatigue-style 

green mini dress. Perfect for street style, the ordinary girl 

could wear rather than high fashion.

For their resort 2012 collection they have tightened up their line 

considerably, which is rich in easy pieces. Their inspiration was 

the Studio 54-era seventies, a theme mostly glimpsed in items like a slinky 

halter-neck jumpsuit, a drape-front bodysuit, and a day-to-night 

jacket in a cool, Lurex-threaded fabric. I'm really not sold on this collection.

I like the fact they are making pieces that are for the high street,

with a low price to go with it but it just seems a bit 'safe'.

There's nothing really new. I loved their past collection, 

playing up to layering for the winter, but this new collection 

just doesn't tick many boxes.
