New York Fashion Week: Michael Kors Fall 2012

So, New York Fashion Week is over, and London Fashion Week is starting today! I thought I would put together a few of my favourite looks from NYFW, to save you from trawling through the shows. There was a big mixture of trends coming through, however I love the flashes of colour that seem to be coming through! My personal favourite is, Michael Kors. I love how he has bought chalet chic knits to the city!

These are my favourite shows from NYFW to date. I am loving the lace, androgyny, surf inspired, and bright prints happening across this week.

Only a few more shows to go and then roll on London...

My first illustration of the Spring Summer 2012 runway collections goes to Alexander Wang. I loved this collection, it seemed to be made up of different characters. Once again there was a strong 'sports' feel to this collection, which seems to be a strong trend coming through already at New York Fashion Week.

It felt so good to be able to have some time to do an illustration this morning. I can't remember the last time I put pencil to paper! I am hoping to do a few more of this fashion week, so keep your eyes peeled.

Spring Summer 2012 runway shows are upon us! Where has this year gone?! One of the few reasons I love seeing the runway show, is seeing how the trends that the trends company I currently design for, really start to show through and be proved! Starting off with New York fashion week, I am already liking some of the goods that New York has so far shown us. I absolutely love looking at all the runway shows..... so expect a few lust blogs coming up!!!

I am already counting down the days till my favourite designer shows in Paris..... yes you guessed it! Isabel Marant :)
However first up is Rag & Bone's Spring Summer 2012 collection is a stand out show so far.... with influences from 1970's surfers mixed with neon colours from the nineties with a few drawstring details added into the mix and I am a happy girl!


The bright blues contrasting against the oranges. The use of technical fabrics contrasting hand knit crochet vests and dresses are to die for!! This is a collection I could easily wear! I feel that poncho was designed for our non existant british summer!
