Reverse. Pause. - Selected Favorites from Fall 2012 RTW

 scenes during fall 2012 rtw shows

if i may be critical and give a false impression of arrogance... i wasn't much inspired with any fall 2012 rtw shows.
in fact, i'm lackluster about the current resort 2013 collections. maybe i'm going through a phase... fashion puberty perhaps.

due to the said "phase" i have zero post on fall 2012 rtw. and with the oncoming of 2013 collections,
i wanted to have some sort of a closure to fashion-year 2012.

there were some awesomely detailed, beautifully cut, and impressively designed clothes.
more importantly, i do very much recognize and appreciate the sheer amount of skill, effort, time, and dedication a collection holds.
and so i have gathered some of my favorite pieces from fall 2012 rtw collections.

Mi Vida Logo / Vogue Japan November 2011

fun fashion logo headpieces!
as soon as i saw "vogue japan" and the headpieces, i immediately thought of anna dello russo since she's a fan of head wear. and lo and behold, this editorial was styled by anna herself.
i think the dior headpiece is chic and beautiful. note the little birds perched on the letters.

Fashionable Outing: Anna Dello Russo

Off-Catwalk Scene During NYFW

before we dive into london fasion week (exciting!), i thought i would do a closing post to new york fashion week. 
these are off-catwalk scenes during nyfw, shot by tommy ton and streetfsn.
off-catwalk is probably as exciting as the catwalk.

Color Explosion at the Menswear Show in Europe

the adorable brad goreski! he looks so chic and i'm just amazed at how well he can pull off those bright colors.

loving the royal blue & silver combination.

what a great moment to catch on camera.

color orgy. surprisingly, the comparatively subdued white dress is anna dello russo.

and a dash of neon to brighten the day.

anna dello russo

initially, i didn't really warm up to her. she was way too flamboyant for my liking. i also thought that her vogue nippon editorials lacked variety and were mere replicas of her style (big hair, mammoth baubles, tanned skin, exaggerated silhouettes). but i have come to appreciate her presence in the fashion industry. i like her radiant positivity, her commitment to maintaining a toned physique through exercise (did you see her arms and legs?), and obviously her willingness to push fashion boundaries. who can pull off neon colors better than her?!

you can see more of the extravagant lady on her blog here.
