Tommy Nutter - Rebel on the Row

Tommy Nutter - the radical tailor of the 60's/70's has a retrospective exhibition at the Fashion and Textile museum, London. His clients included Cilla Black (her suit at top) and The Stones to name a few. Precisional tailoring using amazing fabrics made his designs a success and last the test of time - my favorites are the two white suits - one of which was worn by Jagger on his wedding day to Bianca. Love the huge lapels with the silk/satin details.

A selection of a few of this seasons/next seasons bags of the bigger variety - the decisions!

Snakes

Burberry S/S 12

Lanvin S/S 2012 - www.anothermag.com

Lanvin S/S 2012 - www.zimbio.com

Instead of just wearing snake print - very popular for the last season, there has been a shift into having images/motifs/jewellery pieces of the animal as a whole. Lanvin's S/S 2012, shown in Paris this week is definitely the label embracing the  'full snake'.

Helmut Lang Returns

Helmut Lang - Spring/Summer 2012 - New York

I have been waiting for this for a long long while...the first Helmut Lang show in over 5 years. Under the creative direction of Michael and Nicole Colovos the 90's theme has returned - a look back to the original Helmut Lang aesthetic.

Again, to me it the neck and shoulder lines which dramatic yet subtle, spaghetti straps mixed with thicker lines and exploration of different materials such as silk and leather.

All in all a well styled show - note the accessories.
