Nature Knocks Out On The Runway For Ready to Wear Fall/Winter 2012-2012 Chanel Collection

Even though this collection is for winter, there was no denying how amazing the art in the collection was. Karl states, "nature inspired the collection". He gives examples of stones, minerals and even grass. Since we are going into the Spring season, the coats and heavy material will not work for us. I decided to pull from the line, the geometric shapes used and the colors which include gun metal, pinks, purples, green and neon yellow.

Styling Tips

-Take the gun metal legging and pair it with a flat and a bright scarf.

ART OF COLOR BLOCKING

No one could be more happier about color blocking than myself. Gucci has stepped up to the plate and showed gorgeous pieces on the runway. There are no rules to this fabulous & daring look. Showing that we are not stuck in an era where matching has to drive us all mad. In smaller terms color blocking is maybe taking your favorite vibrant orange shirt and pairing it with a royal blue blazer. When the color pops, you will be glowing.

WHY NOT GO NUDE?

Neutrals, I think the most versatile colors in fashion. Chloe Spring 2012 collection was so clean and chic to say the least. I think for the beautiful spring days headed our way , the calm floral prints and the beautiful whites can do so well for everyone.

WOMENSWEAR 

Nothing is sexier than mens wear inspired looks on a woman. Fashion houses such as Chanel do this in a BRILLIANT way. Tailoring is KEY. Mens wear inspired looks include slacks, blazers and even accessories such as ties. Which can include skinny ties, bow ties and even an ascot.  If your going to wear a full tailored suit pull back on the accessories.  A pulled back pony tail or a ballerina bun would be the best accessory. The famous mens tie, bow tie or ascot can be worn with a high collared button down blouse. As for a fedora, throw it on with your favorite bomber jacket and some jeans and your ready to go out with a mens inspired look. However you choose to include this trend in your wardrobe, be bold and remember only a tough & confident woman can pull off a mans look.
