Fashion trends for fall/winter 2012: RED
 |
| Louis Vuitton Fall 2012 |
I love how this year's collections were all about passion, beauty and power. The fall/winter season features amazing trends, the kind that are all about the feminine elegance and boldness. Red, burgundy and bordeaux have given fabrics a whole new twist in women's wear. Designers have given red a whole new intensity and meaning across evening wear, shoes, bags and makeup.
Miu Miu took colors and patterns on a spin in the fall 2012 collection. Man suits have become more intense and feminine in red and beautifully intricate patterns.

Jason Wu's take on red is creating contrasts with neutral colors, such as black. The dresses are beautifully cut to showcase the body.

Victoria Beckham has a design that can easily be recognized. Red is intense, feminine and bold, whereas the lines highlight the body, making the waist look leaner and more well defined. The black is also reducing the intensity of red.

John Galiano is always opulent and luxurious. “We started out looking at riding clothes,” said Bill Gaytten. “And then as we got going, it turned fetishistic and became about clothes not used for conventional riding.”

| Valentino Fall 2012 Moschino's Rossella Jardini gives Milan a new take on women's wear. The aim was to throw a parade. "We want a good time" she was heard telling her staff before a catwalk show.

Lanvin is always feminine, but the fall 2012 collection is amazing. Designers focused on red and peplum dresses. The peplum detail highlights the waist and when combined with red fabric, it gives the most elegant and sophisticated look.

The Elie Saab Fall 2012 collection featured a long red dress with a high leg slit, geometric see-through patterns and a fabric belt to highlight the waist.

Jil Sanders is the kind of designer that doesn't settle for simple, but for luxurious, bold and intense.

| Jil Sander Fall 2012 Givenchy had a much darker vision for the fall 2012 collection. We kind of loved the vampy outfits and the red blood dresses that had beautiful Victorian details. |

Marc Jacobs gave red a sparkly twist with this sequined floral-neck dress. It's opulence all the way.  |
| Sequined Floral-Neck Dress · Marc Jacobs Inspired by "A soul brought to heaven" (painting from 19th century) the Marchesa Fall 2012 collection is amazing to look at. Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig delivered a dramatic collection with beautiful embroidery, high volume skirts and red blood. |

Fashion - Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2013 Collection
We haven't even tried all the trends this year, that Balenciaga comes to add a few new one for the 2013 spring/summer season. Next year's designer collection is meant for powerful, bold and intense women. We loved how for one year and going designers celebrate the power of the woman with statement like accessories, colors, details and trends.
For Balenciaga, the Spring/Summer 2013 collection meant ruffles, asymmetrical racy skirts, fabric undulates down the leg in outfits that are baffling. I want them all!
Fashion fall/winter 2012 trends: Purple...Everything!
Everybody is agreeing: in 2012, the hottest trend is color, even during the fall/winter season.
Purple was the most surprising designer choice in the fall/winter 2012 season. Everything is purple colors: hair, makeup, jewelry, dresses, shoes, nailart. Stylist say amethyst, purple, plum and whatever you want to call it is a color that best highlights the skin and body.
For Prada, the highlight in the fall/winter season were the purple bags:
For Christopher Kane purple was just vibrant. The fall 2012 collection by Christopher Kane featured violet dresses with powerful patterns. Lace and animal prints were the favorite :

The Versus 2012 fall collection featured purple dresses in eye-candy prints:
Miu Miu couldn't have missed the chance to play with purple so creatively. The fall 2012 collection featured patterns, prints, colors, colors, colors so many colors. And if you had a hard time imagining how violet and pantsuits would match, Miu Miu has a few suggestions:
Prada's 2012 fall collection was a hit. It's femininity, boldness and power. The purple high heel straps with jewelry are a manifest in itself:
Purple is always a powerful color for an evening dress. The Alberta Ferretti Fall 2012 collection features beautiful purple evening dresses that are superb to watch:
For the fall collection, Junya Watanabe played with all kinds of purple in all kinds of things, including hair.

Fashion trends 2012: Shoes to have in your fall wardrobe
Shoes to have in your fall wardrobe by canna-fleur featuring diamond jewelry
When it comes to shoes in trends this fall/winter season, all you need to know is that it is all about opulence, color and femininity. For fall/winter 2012, designers reinvented color. They did it with everything: dresses, jackets, jewelry, hair accessories, handbags and shoes.
This season you might want to make sure you have at least one of the shoes in trends: pumps, velvet shoes, sparkle and metallic shoes, prints, blue and burgundy. It's a delicious feast for the eyes (not necessarily the actual feet). We're talking about shoes that make a statement for themselves. These are creations that fit women who are not afraid to show off their sensuality in bold, racy outfits.
