Runway Rewind: Oscar, Vera, Ralph, Calvin
The Fall/Winter 2012 collections hit the runway for only a few minutes, but you can catch the action all season long on the Neiman Marcus YouTube Channel.
Models embellished in jewels and crystals, embroidered in lace and tweed, and fluffed in feathers and tulle paraded down Oscar de la Renta‘s ultra-feminine Fall 2012 runway. Oscar’s statement accessory for Spring was the earring; for Fall it’s the headband.
The Vera Wang Fall show started out soft. Buff and beige led to pops of bright orange, which then preceded into black and gray. The queen of bridal walked artful kaleidoscope patterned dresses, screen-printed sheer separates, and charcoal wool capes down her ready-to-wear runway.
Ralph Lauren revisited the grandiose life of the English countryside for his Fall collection, even using the Downton Abbey theme song. Rich fabrics (tweed, houndstooth, golds, plaids), traditional tailoring (three piece suits, jodhpur pants, smoking jackets) and lavish accessories (crocodile bags, top hats, exotic plumes) appeared old and new.
Calvin Klein
Francisco Costa’s Fall collection for Calvin Klein catered to the clean-cut minimalist woman. Models donning blunt black bobs and slick ponytails darted down the runway in full leather skirts, cinched waists, and collarless wool jackets.
