Oversize boxy jackets, slim cut trousers and body conscious dresses defined the silhouette for the collection.  The iconic Balmain smoking jacket was transformed into new a sportier oversize version as were the other jackets using sumptuous stamped brocades that were deliberately decadent and unapologetic over the top. “I love the richness of all that jewelry, specifically of the pearls and it was important for me to keep that richness. At the same time, it was important to have a new and strong shape at Balmain,” explained Rousteing. There was a sculpted, crosshatched (quilted) white leather mini with intricate Faberge egg inspired rose needlepoint design that set the tone for the show followed by a crew neck sweater embellished with the same, along with pearls and crystals over slim velvet pants.

Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 Collection New York, NY. Prabal Gurung ...

Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 Collection New York, NY. Prabal Gurung took us through a mystical journey which explored the dark and good side of the provocateur Gurung girl! Yes, the Gurung girl can be bad but one can argue she almost evangelical at the same time. Prabal Gurung depicted a color palette that went from dark to light and touch of ivory and golden hues. Well defined lines and flounced- skirts were the predominant silhouettes. The vibrant blue rose print fabrics to the sheer embroider baroque motifs and the patent-leather applications were among the collection a bold variation that was simply dazzling. With that being said, Prabal Gurung delivered a beautifully executed and flamboyant collection that keeps me looking forward to more Gurung creations.

Alexandre Plokhov Fall 2012 Mens Show

Alexandre Plokhov Fall 2012 Mens collection Collection New York, NY. ...

Alexandre Plokhov Fall 2012 Mens collection Collection New York, NY. In Alexandre Plokhov's second collection for his namesake label an absolute restriction of color gave shape to a sexed-up, sleek version of menswear. Plokhov sent out long-haired models in leather skirts, asymmetrically cut trousers and elongated sweaters that covered the hips, making for an aesthetic that was at once dangerous and almost feminine. Plokhov's dark, chiaroscuro palette was dominated by midnight black and various shades of gray that had a slight hint of goth. He called his collection "a stylistic fan letter" to musicians Glenn Danzig (Danzig) and Andrew Eldritch (Sisters of Mercy), famous front men of iconic goth bands. Plokhov's rebellious lineup included an elongated apron-tuxedo vest over a floor-length skirt followed by slender leather trousers under a long skirt worn with an extra long sweater. The look is sexy, but in a masculine way to highlights a man's physique. It was a "uniquely visceral and complex idea of masculinity" with models wearing Cuban-heeled leather boots, and heavy eyeliner. His modern day warrior is decked-out in leather trousers and a mohair vest treated with acid to achieve a matted, oily feel, "much like dirty hair," said Plokhov. Next, a sporty tailored gray suit was paired with a plunging v-neck T-Shirt and relaxed trousers. Another suit in black speckled merino wool came in an elegant, slim silhouette and was worn without a shirt, highlighting a fantastic silver necklace. Alexandre Plokhov delivered a collection full of ambiguity and dark glamour that is bringing sexy back to menswear.
