Akris Fall/Winter 2012-13

For the Akris Fall/Winter 2012-13 ready to wear collection, Albert Kriemler took an architectural approach with an outstanding minimalism effect. The collection had a nice array of colors, silhouettes, and styles. I could see a lot of different women wearing these pieces. The only details on a few of the pieces I did not like were the oversized sleeves hanging down way below the hand. It looked sloppy to me and all I could think was, "I need to take that to go get tailored!"

Other than that minor dislike (which was only prevalent on a few of the pieces) I enjoyed the collection. Here are a few of my favorite looks from the show.

Cushnie et Ochs Spring 2012 Ready-to-wear

I should make it well known that Cushnie et Ochs is one of my absolute favorite designers. The skin tight, simple, beautifully cut dresses always leave me remembering why I adore fashion (yeah, like I could ever forget anyway!) I wanted to highlight some of my favorite pieces that went down the runway for the Spring 2012 Ready-to-wear collection. This collection held a lot of beautiful, and chic pieces. Many of the dresses have cutouts that are laser sharp. We also see a lot of the peplum and dresses hitting below the knee. Check out my favorites.
