J. Mendel Fall 2012

Giles Mendel presented a truly elegant collection for J. Mendel Fall 2012.

The show opened with four all-white looks including a sleeveless coat, a cashmere fur-collared coat, a wool two-tiered jacket and a long cashmere cardigan before moving on to looks in black, maroon, gold, saffron, khaki and beige.

For a fall collection, everything felt very light.

Models walked the runway wearing lighter-than-air chiffon dresses, fur coats, tailored coats and jersey dresses.

The young and elite clientele will love his mini dress with full skirts and daring cuts, as well as the hot black panelled alligator jacket which was paired with a matching dress.

J. Mendel’s signature luxurious outerwear included fur coats and vests that came in different style and colours.

Gowns had plunging necklines, fully embroidered sequins, gold lame inserts, cut-out details, draped details and beaded embellishments which said, “Hello Taylor Swift”.

Michael Kors Fall 2012

The Michael Kors Fall 2012 collection started with a selection of red, black and plaid-all-over looks.

After the African influences of Spring 2012, the designer went back to basics by presenting many key staples to keep us warm and stylish for fall on a colour palette of red, black, camel and grey.

With the theme being ‘rugged elegance’, we saw fur collared coats, leather dresses, chunky-knit turtlenecks and sweater dresses.

On the less rugged, more elegant side, the designer presented a beautiful herringbone mohair sheath with ombre feathers, a black leather blouse paired with cropped pants and a mohair skirt suit.

Between the statement furs, blanket coats, fringed ponchos and menswear, we saw some beautiful red carpet gowns.

They sparkled with crystal and paillette embellishments and dazzled with plunging necklines, keyhole necklines and open backs.

Key accessories included an oversized fur hat, like the ones we saw at Marc Jacobs which were more ‘Ladies Day’ at Ascot than ‘Mad Hatter’, shawls, scars, muffs, leather gloves, Oxford boots, Mary Janes, framed doctor’s bags and satchels.

Front Row: Jessica Alba, Paula Patton, Amber Heard, Stacy Keibler, Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Zoe Saldana, Odette Annable, Paula Patton, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Gwyneth Paltrow, Heidi Klum, Kerry Washington, Maggie Q, Hilary Swank and Blake Lively

Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012

Oscar de la Renta’s presentation showcased plenty of jewels for fall. Not jewel tones, but actual jewels.

The collection was dominated by jewels, with jewel prints and jewel accents giving the prints a 3D effect.

Each model wore a diamante-accented satin headband and some walked the runway with a bejewelled leather belt.

On a colour palette of sky blue, rose, teal and taupe that we don’t normally associate with fall, we saw the usual elegance we come to associate with Oscar de la Renta but with a surprisingly youthful twist.

We saw shorter hemlines, playful tutus, poufy skirts, cute shift dresses, caplets, chunky cable-knit cardigans and embellished tops paired with skinny pants, which would appeal to the likes of the Fanning sisters, Chloe Moretz and even Alexa Chung.

‘Ladies who lunch’ were treated to metallic tweed suits, cashmere turtlenecks, jacquard knit skirt suits and tweed sheath dresses.

For the red carpet, the gowns ranged from slinky crushed, pleated velvet and beaded column gowns to fairytale-like tulle draped gowns. These frothy creates also on my wish list for Oscar night and any other night. which both have a place on Oscar, and any night.

Key accessories included glittered ankle boots, bow-tie sandals, booties and teardrop-shaped pearl earrings.

Other mash-ups included plaid pants with a gold lurex sweater and flannel pants with a striped sweater.

Bouclé coats, fur-trimmed anoraks, full-skirted dresses with metallic finishes, floral prints, plaid and velvet made up this collection of wearable pieces with a military references and a punkish edge.

Key accessories included wristlets, studded top-handle bags, clutches and totes, plus miltary-style drum hats.

Naeem Khan Fall 2012

Inspired by Mughal Paisley and Hindu Tilakas, Naeem Khan’s Fall 2012 presented many gowns which must be Oscar bound.

Models sparkled from head to toe wearing gold and silver ethnic embroidered gowns and gowns with bead work which looked heavy.

On the flip side, the designer presented a selection of organza abstract print gowns and dresses which were lighter than air as they floated down the runway.

Necklines plunged, thighs were revealed via splits and backs were open for those who wanted to show off more skin.

For those who don’t, luxe embroidered evening coats or sparkling caftans will enable you to make a statement just as bold without showing off too much skin.

Tweed metallic jackets, beaded gowns with fringe detailing, gowns with feathered skirts and studded pants which were to die for made up this eye-popping collection which sparkled so brightly against the black backdrop.

Front Row: Padma Lakshmi, Ahna O’Reilly, Kristin Chenoweth, Matt Damon and wife Lucy Damon
