Spring 2012 Trend: Modern Romance

style.mtv.com

While Fashion week here is only a week away, I decided to return to fashion week's past to revisit the drool worthy atelier for the spring/summer 2012 season.  Since fashion is always a season (or two) ahead, I had to time-warp back to last year's show lol.

I recently saw the dress on the far left on the instyle website and thought it absolutely gorgeous! Not to say that going sheer wouldn't cause heads to turn *pause for effect* it certainly makes it romantic.

I love that we are going back to the more romantic times, being girly isn't so bad anymore!

Dior S/S 2010 Magazine Ads

I'm usually not into details when it comes to magazine ads...In fact, most times I try to avoid them as much as possible and flip to the more important (but fewer) pages of the mags with actual fashion content.

This time I stared at the ad pages of two fashion houses using the Iconic figures from Hollywood's past to show off their new Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

The models in the ad from Dior along with the ad from Salvatore Ferragamo seem to resemble Lauren Bacall and Grace Kelly....hmm..

Is it just me, or eeriely close to the iconic stars?  I think both fashion houses were trying to channel the essence of these starlets in their hayday.

Sighting: Dior, doin it up military style!

I love Dior...

As much as the brand always stood for elegance and one of the ultimate chic labels in high fashion, I'm glad that they come down from the glamour and know how to rough it--in style!
