John Galliano S/S 12

Even with Galliano still on suspension the collection hit a dramatic high note that has come to be synonymous with Galliano.  The inspiration was totally Mary Poppins but totally tongue in cheek.

As promised, the shoes (the tattoo booties are my favorites):

Jean Paul Gaultier S/S 12

His Spring/Summer 2012 collection is pure JPG- from the tattoo shirts and leggings to the underwear worn as outerwear.  Accessories abounded and even the 40's inspired hairstyles were wicked good. There are just too many great styles to list in one post so belts and jewelry today with shoes following tomorrow.

McQueen S/S 12

Sarah Burton's underwater spectacular was brilliant and the accessories were no less awesome.
Another win for Burton.

Balenciaga S/S 12

Nicolas Ghesquiere's collection for Balenciaga was all about shape.  Accessories followed the same dynamic but where the handbags were more utilitarian the shoes were all drama.
