Spring 2012 Splashes With Style

This spring, think of the fashion world as an oyster, because design houses like Givenchy, Chanel, and Alexander McQueen have some real pearls in store. Spring style is calling from the ocean. No fantastical mermaids, prickly sea urchins, tiny seahorses, or soul surfers were hurt in the making, but they were defiantly nailed to the inspiration boards.

Underwater love stories of mermaids and surfers lead to Givenchy’s spring 2012 creations, as a shimmery, sleeved sequin garment swam down the runway. Other designers like Issa floated a coral-printed maxi dress down the plank, while Chanel flaunted a fish scale-inspired piece. Snorkels or fishnets are not necessary for spring 2012, but a love for the deep blue sea is appreciated.
