Trending: Tailored Shorts For Spring
I wear shorts all year round. Anyone who knows me is aware that my winter wardrobe tends to consist of dresses, skirts and shorts with various nylons worn underneath. This due to the fact that I stand at 6’ and sadly most covetable trousers do not reach the full length of my legs. So as one would guess I am a very big fan of shorts during the summer months as well (obviously).
One thing I was very excited to see trending throughout various collections during spring 2012 fashion month were tailored, structured shorts in various pastels and jewel tones and other summery hues and in leather (not very practical but lovely), silk and cotton. I cannot wait to get my hands on some new pairs to style with structured blazers for a twist on a professional look, with oversized loose tees or structured tees with the also on trend peplum.
Some of my favourite stand outs shorties could be seen at Chloé, Prabal Gurung and the sporty Stella McCartney versions. Overall some great twists on a common wardrobe staple, just enough to make them feel more interesting than ever.

After giving us what I consider to be one of the best collections of the New York Fashion Week spring/summer 2012 season Gurung did not disappoint.
The beginning of the collection is pure darkness achieved through the use of heavy black leather, deep yet vibrant blue hues, and silvery details. The harnesses were carried over from his previous collection while the purple digital prints were replaced with cobalt blue ones. Flirty tunics and mini dresses were paired with perfectly tailored flare legged trousers while a darkened version of his sultry mesh peek-a-boo cocktail dresses made a reappearance. Many of the looks from the first half of the collection were finished off with military visors and slick hair.
The second half of the collection however was ethereal and full of lightness. Yellow tones, gold lame and various shades of creamy whites coated the garments. The collection came together at the end with the star of the spring/summer 2012 campaign, Candice Swanepoel, wearing an over the top ostrich feathered, heavily embroidered sheer tulle gown.

I am definitely not a fan of her with dark hair but I will overlook it because these images are so dynamic and I was such a massive fan of this collection so I really could not be happier.

Lavender, florals and paint drips paired with sheer fabrics and strappy leather makes up this seasons collection. The sexy cutouts and sheer overlays are reminiscent of Stella McCartney last season. This is for sure one of my favourite collections thus far at fashion week. I cannot wait for these pieces to filter down into editorials.
