Armani Blues

For the warm seasons of the year 2012 collections from the Armani lines including Emprorio Armani, Giorgio Armani, and the more affordable (youth label) Armani Exchange emphasized many of their collections with pops of impeccable blues of neutral or faded shades. Inspired by the mother (blue) pearl and its shells in reflection of the crystal blue waters of the ocean, the color exuded lightness to the clothing giving definitions of highlights, lines and overall shapes loosely clinging on to the body intended by designer's 'deconstructed tailoring'.

Whites - Spring/Summer 2012

White was the most prominent color to be seen on the spring/summer 2012 runways from Paris, Milan, London, and New York. Perhaps due to the fact it is the lightest absorbing the least heat practical for the warm temperatures of the high seasons of July and August. The clothes were for the most simple (with minor details, apart from symmetrical cuts) and from appearance seemed to be comfortable. Fabrics like cotton, silk, satin, cashmere, and lamb skin were the favorites among many designers in enhancing soft complexions and smooth flow of the garments.
