Givenchy
Spring 2012 Couture
Model: Kati Nescher
Art Deco inspired but tougher/edgier. Beautiful and ethereal but the jewelry (the huge nose rings) on the models make it look dark.

Pre-Fall 2012
Model: Marie Piovesan
Maxime Simoens
Spring 2012 Couture
From Style.com:
Simoens, a cinema buff, traded in last season’s Nosferatu inspiration for a film of a more recent vintage, Gaspard Noé’s Tokyo-set piece Enter the Void. But despite the decades separating the movies, the two collections were consistent, with slim silhouettes and graphic embellishments dominating both.

Pre-Fall 2012

Love live McQueen (and Ms. Sarah Burton designing this line; she’s doing remarkable work).
J’adore this gown.
Versace
Spring 2012 Couture
Like almost every Versace runway show I’ve seen for the past few years, the look is futuristic glamazon (meaning, glamorous Amazonian women).
Pretty but it’s getting boring.

Bouchra Jarrar
Spring 2012 Couture
Love the wearability of all of her looks. Minimalist, smart, and sharp tailoring.
