Front Row at Fashion Week: Poppy Delevingne

She's Poppy Delevingne and I love her style!  Poppy was spotted front row at Fashion Week Fall 2012...from Louis Vuitton to Chanel, Topshop Unique, Burberry and Matthew Williamson just to name a few!

Burberry Prorsum Fall 2012

If Christopher Bailey wants it to storm, then a storm is what he will get!  Burberry's Fall 2012 collection is country/forest like.  From floral, to tees with animal imagery, pencil skirts with a diagonal ruffle, tweed, velvet, bows, puff jackets, metallic fringing and of course Burberry's signatory trechcoats.  Burberry's Fall 2012 finale definitely left the audience amazed... with an extraordinary artificial thunder storm!

NYFW Fall 2012: Marchesa

And then there's Marchesa....breathtaking, mind blowing, amazing, gorgeous, total perfection!  Marchesa's Fall 2012 collection was inspired by William-Adolphe Bouguereau's 19th Century painting A Soul Brought to Heaven.  Tulle gowns, shimmers of gold, and stunning embroidered pieces swept the ground as models graced a path of a somewhat heavenly nature.  Each piece more glamorous than the next.  Whilst the majority of the pieces represented a more angelic side symbolised through wings and feathers, other pieces represented a somewhat darker place and a level of mortality... the skeleton and muscles were incorporated in pieces throughout the collection.  However, leave it to the girls from Marchesa to see the beauty in all.
