A Look Back: Spring/Summer 2012 Haute Couture

The 12 most prestigious fashion houses of the fashion community get to show their haute couture collections every season in Paris, France. Monochromatic looks at Alexis Mabille, Donetella being back on the lineup, fantastic set at Chanel, new creative director for Dior, and everything in-between was truly amazing. here is my usual 8 after the jump! xo, Estelle


1) Givenchy
The oversized nose jewelry and major earring hoops were tastefully styled with the amazing couture dresses. This collection to me, captured the essence of couture: wearable masterpieces. The darkness of the pieces had a romantic edge to it and sparkled during the showcase.





2) Atelier Versace
Although i was expecting long elegant dresses, the sculptured collection didn't disappoint me at all. The minimal smokey eye makeup shifted the attention perfectly to the small, but wonderful, 15 piece collection. Corseted gowns with metallic detailing put this collection at the top of my list.







3) Elie Saab
This collection just screams red carpet. Periwinkle blue and cotton candy pink, pastel greens was the main color scheme. The ponytails in my mind was one of the best aspects of the show; they were chic and a stubble statement. And one more thing, can I please get married in the last look that Toni wore?
