The spring 2012 couture runway shows only began on Monday, but, so far, they have stayed true to the season’s flora and fauna theme. Giambattista Valli used feminine petal accents in most ensembles. In the spirit of spring, dresses and jackets appeared to be sprouting flowers. Christian Dior’s show was filled with light dresses layered with embroidered floral patterns. Animal prints came into the mix, and zebra-printed tops were paired with ruffled skirts. To add contrast, Giambattista Valli and Christian Dior both incorporated slick, black crocodile-textured jackets to their runway looks.
Chanel’s couture show presented structured designs in all shades of watery blue colors. The models wore sky-high pompadour hairstyles paired with feathers, which reminded us of peacocks. Armani Privé’s abundance of green pieces and scaly patterns also made it clear that spring is just around the corner. At Alexis Mabille’s show, the models were in full bloom with painted faces and massive headpieces designed to look like fresh-cut flowers. If the rest of the week’s shows follow this trend, it’s going to be a very lush season.
