These Spring 2012 ads for Alexander McQueen are beyond amazing. I'm obsessed with this first image, and the color palette of these shots. So fab. 

Long Live McQueen. <3

These spring ad campaigns keep getting better and better! Stella McCartney is making me excited for the flowers to start blooming in a couple months, although, the weather in NYC is trying to convince me it'll be happening sooner rather than later...

Is it weird I want to move into to all these lady-like, pastel ads for Spring??? 

NYFW - Leanne Marshall

This past Saturday, I had the extreme pleasure of attending Leanne Marshall's presentation for NY Fashion Week. As a big fan of Leanne's from her Project Runway days, I was really excited to see what she was making for Spring 2012. When I got there, I was excited to learn it would be her collection as well as bridal. First off, I loved the space the show was held in, it was small enough to be an intimate setting, but it was big enough that it didn't feel crowded or cramped. 

But let's get to the clothes :)

The color palette was perfect--vibrant yellow, dusty blue-grey, with a little white/ivory thrown in. The garments were all had a soft, feminine quality, and if you watched the show at all, you know Leanne is a master at creating texture and manipulating fabric, so these pieces weren't lacking in gorgeous details. Her bridal gowns were equally stunning, and had a little of everything--short, full dresses, to long, elegant gowns. My favorite looks were both dresses, one a short dress with a white, off-shoulder bodice, and blue-grey skirt that had been folded into beautiful, full layers, and the other, a full length gown in the bright yellow, with a three tiered skirt, and loads of gathering all over. 

I had a wonderful time at the show, and hope to be able to attend again in the future!

*Note: the colors are slightly skewed, I had to edit the photos a little bit to help bring out all the beautiful details in the garments. And if you click on them, they'll be full size to help see all the detail work!
