Chanel Spring 2012 Beauty Collection

A little colour is exactly what we're all in need of on a grey January day, so the fact that Chanel's spring 2012 Spring Harmony beauty collection will launch this month is good news indeed.
Inspired by "the first light of dawn, streaked with pink clouds in hazy contours", the collection is an arresting array of pinks, red, corals and golds, heralding the start of a new, brighter season and epitomised by the Blush Horizon de Chanel - a sunset-like palette which was used by Peter Philips at the spring/summer 2012 show.

Paris Fashion Week: Spring 2012

Paris Fashion Week Spring 2012, did not seem to be as wonderful as seen previously. However, both Chanel and Louis Vuitton really pulled out all the stops and provided breathtaking collections. But other designers did not impress. Ultimately, the week was still a huge success.

Chloe

Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton really did put out a stunning collection this year, and the fashion show really did influence my choice.

London Fashion Week: Spring 2012

Recently I have been away, thus removing my usual constant access to the internet. This means I have been unable to provide my outlook on the various fashion weeks. I am aware that these may be a little late, but I enjoy writing about them all the same. My favourite looks from London Fashion Week are listed below, all of them from a variety of designers (all from their Spring 2012 collections):

Antonio Beradi

Burberry Prosum

Christopher Kane

Jonathan Saunders

As you may see, I have a variety of favourite runway looks from a variety of different designers however, I would say that my favourite collections are from Christopher Kane and Jonathan Saunders. Both of them have such a feminine tone to them that is a feast for the eyes.

Au revoir!
