Paris fashion week Spring Summer 2012

Now I know that the SS12 ready-to-wear shows are nothing more than a distant memory for most, but having been on holiday & having to deal with the inevitable catch up, I've only just managed to get my teeth into the Paris collections.


I couldn't possibly not blog about them, so here are some of my favourite looks, albeit a little late...

Milan fashion week Spring Summer 2012

There seemed to be an Art Deco thread running through Milan fashion week, most notably at Gucci & Etro. This did not displease me, as those that know me well will know that I have a penchant for anything of this era.


Another thing that pleased me during the Milan collections was the sight of near "normal" models at Luisa Beccaria. 


Maybe it's because I'm in holiday mode (I'm imminently heading to Skiathos), but I quite liked the hula girl tropical part of the collection from Blumarine. However I wasn't so keen on the in your face sunflower prints.


Anyway, here are my favourite picks...
