Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2012

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Monique Lhuillier</i> fine tunes uptown elegance for her Pre-Fall 2012 collection. With minimal use of colour and an abundance of ideas, she has created day and evening wear that personifies femininity in it's most favorable form.</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lace covered dresses that are fit for a high tea at the palace, or for the fashion-conscious bridesmaid. Then there are extravagant evening gowns that beg to be shown off at prime red carpet events.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Besides for innovative black and white prints, Monique has used blue as a primary colour choice. From cobalt to sapphire, indigo and navy, to shades of midnight, this collection gives new meaning to the term 'feeling blue'. We are presented with jubilant blue creations, in draped chiffon, full tulle skirts, satin ruffles and impeccably placed lace. Silhouettes are kept full and billowy, suited for any type of figure. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The one dress that I'd really like to see worn on the red carpet is the second last one at the end - which has royal blue lace gently adorning a nude tulle gown. Perhaps on someone regal like </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kate Middleton or even</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Keira Knightly.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq5gvPFrkFhT5AjOfuW53IXTdVX_9Rb4CIpSFZHqaDIhilSDK0GwlVwisqTWjUVwXeepZLyotNHEfkux_nwi-VlMjtwPwd_cOx0y-AmiWsZSxGdTglWjWmJ5bSR_r220GVk4rsv0VM0fg0/s1600/ml1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq5gvPFrkFhT5AjOfuW53IXTdVX_9Rb4CIpSFZHqaDIhilSDK0GwlVwisqTWjUVwXeepZLyotNHEfkux_nwi-VlMjtwPwd_cOx0y-AmiWsZSxGdTglWjWmJ5bSR_r220GVk4rsv0VM0fg0/s640/ml1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi9KpUwZ32DEIE_1GGFp8zVTCGW8wprGZPbdkxQxLQTGwlg83-30pR8KCgEkvuJLkolbGG6gsvkWYpJ8-CinbA3Ky7ZddB2PcHPAwTa7_fjQcBD-T5Ud3rnapC1066YvTtDlgg8YUV_Q7h/s1600/ml3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi9KpUwZ32DEIE_1GGFp8zVTCGW8wprGZPbdkxQxLQTGwlg83-30pR8KCgEkvuJLkolbGG6gsvkWYpJ8-CinbA3Ky7ZddB2PcHPAwTa7_fjQcBD-T5Ud3rnapC1066YvTtDlgg8YUV_Q7h/s640/ml3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-QC_D4_fy7NcG3lbpS2ti6xlKZStSLDblyvnoflC9blD5fQfpzJEHc_xI7ArvTrYq-72cKSZyrU3OIlms3EM7r9jSJ_MOrzowQ882kQLodCu7JHjcr7WVWHzoGFMS4JwjTMD-qn7e1NJh/s1600/ml4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-QC_D4_fy7NcG3lbpS2ti6xlKZStSLDblyvnoflC9blD5fQfpzJEHc_xI7ArvTrYq-72cKSZyrU3OIlms3EM7r9jSJ_MOrzowQ882kQLodCu7JHjcr7WVWHzoGFMS4JwjTMD-qn7e1NJh/s640/ml4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNoKrsPUNypQgQrgyxJDrdNNIz16ztnAROLjjT-S08Pe4LYcYVrHDNSRQPM7B6Naa2r0XVBbIM6dIJPTTKxWMSoB-V44VNAK2ZxiUCfT3rpaaNb2lCttwmjTDXRw7z7xRpPApIPuNuwkYh/s1600/ml5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNoKrsPUNypQgQrgyxJDrdNNIz16ztnAROLjjT-S08Pe4LYcYVrHDNSRQPM7B6Naa2r0XVBbIM6dIJPTTKxWMSoB-V44VNAK2ZxiUCfT3rpaaNb2lCttwmjTDXRw7z7xRpPApIPuNuwkYh/s640/ml5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

Naeem Khan Pre-Fall 2012

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Naeem Khan has been gaining fame with a slew of celebrity clients such as Florence Welch, Julianne Hough, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and even Michelle Obama. He masterly crafts elegant and feminine gowns with interesting shapes, and in sumptuous fabrics. He applied this same aesthetic to his Pre-Fall 2012 collection, in which sequins were the order of the day, delicately layered upon slinky silk and chiffon gowns.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The colour palette began with sugary pink and creamy white shades, then blazed into amazing brights like cerise, lime and daffodil. Khan added a dash of animal print, for a more dressed down evening look, showing that he isn't only about glitzy embellishments. The range concludes with a few black feathered frocks and an outstanding ivory gown with beaded bodice and voluminous skirt, which would make for an opulent wedding dress. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Khan experimented with different types of necklines, which keeps the collection from being monotonous. What I appreciate about this range is that each look is unique, and not a continuation of the one before. My favourite piece is the first dusky rose tulle dress below.

Atelier Versace Fall 2011

The collection finds its roots in Asian and baroque influences. Floor-sweeping gowns are lavishly adorned with crystal and sequin embellishments, while others bear the vintage <i>Versace</i> print. The different silhouettes are draped, cut-out, architectural and flowing.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I like the lack of cohesion in Atelier <i>Versace</i> collections.

Pippa paired the dress with strappy silver <i>Aruna Seth</i> heels and a silver metallic clutch bag.  </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Right:</b> Lindsay Lohan wore the white version of the <i>Temperley London</i> gown to Kim Kardashian's wedding reception, which had a black & white dress code for all 450 guests. The dress appears to be very satin-bridal-nightie on her. The bridal-like upstyle isn't helping either.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><br /><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I prefer the beautiful jewel-toned colour of Pippa's dress.
