Rochas Runway Fall 2012

For Rochas's Fall 2012 collection, Marco Zanini culled inspiration from the midcentury ceramics of Swedish artist Wilhelm Kåge, highlighting a range of colorful suits and separates. While the focus was on ladylike dressing, Zanini injected a quirky touch into every look, pairing printed tights with boucle coats, patterned pencil skirts, and the geek chic glasses to match. Highlights included the well-tailored suits and skirts; the latter featured a range of full and form-fitting shapes. For gowns, Zanini created decadent voluminous gowns made out of thick washed silks — we can totally picture celeb style setters like Tilda Swinton wearing one of those creations on the red carpet. More details from the collection below.

  • Trends: Printed suits, ladylike dressing.
  • Colors: Blue, mustard yellow, purple, camel, lavender.
  • Key Piece: The printed suit sets immediately caught our attention.
  • Accessories: Printed tights, tribal necklaces, oxfords, shawl scarves, satchel bags.
  • Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave polished quirk, like front-row attendee Olivia Palermo, and Tilda Swinton.

Rochas Fall 2012

>> Watery grid prints, shiny jacquards, and a dusky autumnal palette took center stage in Marco Zanini's Fall 2012 offering for Rochas. Silhouettes were buttoned-up, vaguely '60s, and tinged with a bit of librarian quirk — think twee ankle pants, double-breasted coats, printed tights, and Iris Apfel-esque glasses. Bouclé knits and a bit of fur added texture — and kept it all feeling luxe.

Theyskens' Theory is known for cool, downtown looks, and the inspiration behind the Fall 2012 collection is unexpected... it's Grandma. Effortless hair floated down the runway thanks to a clever hair trick, and the makeup palette included warm bronze shades, taken from someone Granny might look to for beauty inspiration: the late Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli. On Annie: BCBG; hair by TRESemmé.

Theyskens' Theory Fall 2012

Theyskens' Theory Runway 2012 Fall

>> Olivier Theyskens has hit his stride at Theory. For Fall 2012, the designer worked just the right bit of darkness into the label's signature streamlined silhouettes. Whisper-sheer, trumpet-shaped skirts floated ethereally beneath sharp-cut blazers; and slouchy, wide-legged trousers paired effortlessly with leather, brocade, and knit. But best of all were the designer's signature gowns, which looked understated — and totally stunning — in sparkling sheers, structured taffetas, and printed silks.
