Spring 2012 Best Bits Part II
first up - matthew williamson - predictable but still lovely as usual.
love the way this flares out into a satsuma colour at the bottom, it really does look like fire. i think that colour fade carries the dress by itself, it almost doesn’t need that busy bit in the middle.
topshop unique - leaps & bounds ahead of the previous dalmation flop! really into the egyptian influences and all the little details like the tortoise shell lining in the shoes, gold foil hair and evil eyes.
holly fulton - another predictable collection which i was really disappointed with :( this art deco zebra dress restored faith.
danielle scutt - so original, i enjoyed this collection, she made some really interesting choices in terms of structure. i love how things like bows on skirts are placed in the middle and shirt buttons get twisted and pinned in places that no one else has thought of doing!
mary katrantzou - for fuck sake. this is the one designer i was wetting my pants to see & she came out with this blah collection. i struggled to find a half decent garment to put beneath her name on here.
temperley london - proving the point that sometimes less is more. i’ve always had a thing for maxi blazers, specially ones as well made as this. and i lurvelurve the way that basic white dress has been accessorized. simplicity at it’s absolute best. 
giles - yeah mannn. silver made sophisticated.
beautiful beautiful fur, is there anything more timeless?!
here’s the pink tips i was rambling about! still dont like the collection though.

TOPSHOP UNIQUE FALL 2011 RTW LONDON.
the only decent thing to come out of the collection in my opinion (which completely sucks as i’ve loved pretty much everything else they’ve done). i think the concept was great - the whole cruella idea, but the clothes didn’t come close to the standard of other collections such as jonathan saunders and ann-sofie back.
