Runway Series 2: PFW SS12 Pt.3

Wrapping it up, it's part 3 of the favorite looks from Paris Fashion Week. To catch up, simply click here to head back for part 2.
*The beginning of the week is fairly easygoing the heavy hitters and powerhouses of the fashion world can live up to everyone's expectations later in the week; much pressure for them. For the sake of time and quality, the favorite looks on this post are from the more well known labels of the world. (Click each underlined name to view the entire collection; not ranked)*

Miu Miu - Even though there were some elements that carried over from the Prada show in Milan, Miuccia Prada did one heck of a job of making both collections very different from one another within a span of less than two weeks. For her it was just simple, "I tried to do something different." This time around there was a bit of a strict cold feel to the beginning of the show. But gradually, she introduced the colors and prints that should be spread during a Spring runway.

Stella McCartney - "It's a celebration of energy, freshness, and fitness," said Stella McCartney. This collection showed exactly that, she captured the true essence of a Spring collection. Add a little sensuality, and no wonder the designer's profits of soared up to 34% this quarter. The ability to pour more of a Summer feel to the show is more than commendable. She added, "In England, summer is so short." It's almost as if the celebration of such a design had waited far too long.

Valentino - Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri's new collection has been stated to be the best so far in their time at Valentino. Their fantasy came alive on the runway, one splendid magnificent look after another. Even though the majority of the frocks aren't as practical in the outside world (click Valentino for the entire collection), you could only wish and desire to search for an event to wear one of these pieces. The beauty behind it all is undeniable. The entire collection made the audience smile but even more with the evening dresses. It was also noted that it was inspired but early 20th century Mexico, which can be seen in the dresses.

Viktor & Rolf - The designers let their imaginations really 'pop' out with this collection. Very bold and loud colors, with their girlish silhouettes, over shadowed the simplicity in some of the pieces. The looks that were actually worth the stare and more practical for grown-up women were over powered by the earlier pieces in the show. It, honestly, looked like they were dressing up Barbie dolls. Regardless, there were some that were too good to pass up.

Yves Saint Laurent - Stefano Pilati seemed to deliver a very bourgeois presentation. It was a the shoes that caught most of the attention but the entire look had a sort of dark tone. It was about a woman evoking her sexual dark side. It was all a bit strange, something out of the norm yet followed the house codes.
