Famous Fashion 2012: Sonya Rykiel

Here is the video of the official announce of the Marni collaboration with H&M for s/s 2012.

After the Versace for H&M in march there will be another great designer such as Consuelo Catiglioni which will make a limited collection for the Swedish fast fashion company. Jimmy Choo, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli, Viktor & Rolf, Comme des Garçons, Matthew Williamson, Sonia Rykiel, Lanvin and Versace. These brand are the ones which have collaborate with H&M and sometimes they make amazing collection like Verscae of CdG, sometimes they didn't like V&R. However the amazing thing about Marni is that this brand is maybe one of the brand which makes the rgeatest prints. If we want to think about amazing prints we must think about Pucci, Prada, Proenza Schouler, Burberry, Dries Van Noten, Diane Von Furstenberg and Marni. Marni makes also wonderful bag and shes. Consuelo Castiglioni said that she wants to show again her collection in a cheaper way...If she will really make this I'm sure that this will be the most appreciated collection, even more than Versace.

I posted also some pictures of the s/s and f/w 2012 collections to show you some of the amazing prints which are the main feature of Marni. I love its flowers, its bags but I can't understand the shoes. However, I love Marni and I'm looking forward for seeing this collaboration.

Watanabe is become the "symbol" of stripes. For this summer he developed an entire show on this pattern, in a unique way that reflect perfectly his style. This designer that has a lot of success (I think because has learned the creativity by Kawakubo but has a more "commercial" style than CdG or Tao) every season purposes something new. Do you remember that amazing use of denime some springs ago??...gorgeus! The caracteristic of this s/s shows is the huge variety of stripes, there is not any designer who copy another one or presents stripes that are the same of another designer. From the large ones of Sander (amazing, especially for the perfect integration ith the "silhouette" of that collection) to the exagerate ones of Prada. Ackermann's ones are classic and Cèline purposes an asimmetric version.

So, my favourite is Ackermann because I think that stripes are a "classic print" it's not something really new so the designer needs to add something if wants to be innvoative.

In fact, for example, Haider adds his classic "drapes", soft, style. Then, also, Simons, for Sander, is innovative. The transparences, the shapes and the colors are absolutely cool and fresh. Honestly this is not simple, speaking about "wearability", to wear...It's easy to look as a clown or fatter. So, maybe, in the "real life", "real people", should be inspired by Céline, Wu or Fendi where stripes are limited in a specific part of the outfit (shirt or skirts). The other looks are amazing, I know and I agree, but I think that is better, for everyone, to leave them to editors or models or stars...
