NYFW SS12 : Ashish

NYFW SS12 : 3.1 Phillip Lim

Phillip Lim’s SS12 collection is an absolute standout for me. I’m so inspired by the minimalistic approach, sewn from rectangular panels in an oh so sweet candyfloss pallet. This delectable delight ticks all the boxes, the slouchy but elegant silk trousers, the cleaver layering, where each and every look is undeniably covetable. Lim's entire collection is leaving me feeling… quite refreshed actually.

NYFW SS12 : Zac Posen

Well, it looks as though New York’s prodigal son has made his return. Famously, the designer left his hometown in favour for La Ville-Lumière, declaring that he would be better received in Paris although, that turned out not to be the case. But the story does have a happy ending. This collection is one of the best I’ve seen from Posen. With a focus on cut and fit, the waist accents and beautiful dresses with flaring, knee-length hems screams drama and old Hollywood glamour. And if you’re not into corsets, well this simply isn’t for you. It seems as though someone’s found their mojo!

NYFW SS12 : Mara Hoffman

Every NY Fashion Week I always seem to find myself raving about Mara Hoffman and SS12 is no different. Aptly named “Mara Mexicana” this collection certainly brought the fiesta, with eye popping Aztec prints in oranges and blues to sheer crepe tunics. And I couldn’t go past the accessories! Hoffman collaborated with Holst and Lee to inject statement rope necklaces and cloth earrings using the fabric of the collection. Lush.

NY Fashion Week SS12 Street Style

The last two weeks have been hellish. With NY Fashion Week been and gone and London Fashion Week in full swing, now is definitely not the time for me to not have the Internet in my new apartment. But as with everything, these things take time. So thankfully (and just in the nick of time) I’m now back online and ready to go!

So first up, and most fittingly, here are my fave street-style photos from NYFW shot by Nam from StreetFSN.
