New York Fashion Week S/S 2012. Day 2.

Flowers seemed to be the inspiration for spring at Peter Som. The blown up candy, multicoloured flower prints was a perfect combination with the almost mod 60s silhouettes. The stacked, chunky loafers was a perfect match. His take on the trench dress with an oragimi-esque flower at the neck, sleeveless and with a hood was brilliant, the two bikinis in the collection had such an eloquent cut on the waist. And that powder blue and pink coat reminded me of a modern day Jackie O. The denim and houndstooth tweed suits that had the hood, DIED. He also added a little sex appeal with little lace details, like on that muted coral dress going from  the armpit around the back. But that boxy bright magenta eel skirt, blue floral short sleeve shirt and the black necklace shut it down.

Jason Wu's collection was young and effortless with hints of Cristobal Balenciaga. The super short sport shorts reminded me of knickers, but I thought they were absolutely divine, in the print, the heather grey and paired with thin belts, although he may have to have long legs to wear them, they were still genius. The lightweight nylon parka in powder pink can serve as a young girl's option for a shawl on a spring evening out. The flared skirt dress is where the Balenciaga nostalgia came in. His Collard shirts had slight details of sparkly gems on the collars. The pair of trousers on Ajak Deng with the neon collard, sheer shirt was brilliant the cut was exceptional, I need those in my life.

Yigal Azrouel produced a well tailored collection. The wide leg trousers in that royal blue were impeccable, but then when they came out in the orange leather I almost died. I wanted them instantly. The looks were very attractive, wearable and practical, yet still very stylish. Neat suits in grey, loose fitting dresses, collarless coats, and that yellow and black print in the dress and jumpsuit was sexy. That white, knee length, halter dress and the white wide legged trousers with the grey blazer with no collar, to die for. But it was the grey ankle suit with white details and white sheer shirt that had my name all over it. Well that was my top 3 for day 2.-your Dealer
