Aldo RISE: Designer Collaborations for SS12

by

Faster by Mark Fast “Cregger”

JW Anderson “Weatherbee”

Aldo RISE, the latest collaboration endeavor between Aldo and innovative, fresh design talent, is an ascent into fashion-forward footwear for Spring 2012.

Meet the designers working with Aldo to turn their visions into being, a deed designers only dream of: JW Anderson, Faster by Mark Fast, Christian Cota, Cushnie Et Ochs, Libertine, and Preen.

The name of the game is presence, as each designer creates a unique look all their own. For instance, the stiletto makes a sharp comeback with JW Anderson’s Weatherbee ($155), an unbeatable look for a night out on the town. While, Mark Fast’s platform Cregger pump ($155), available in both patent and suede, is both sexy and bright, standing out in an entirely different way.

Libertine “Allor“

Preen “Paider”

Libertine’s printed wedge Allor platform ($155) is the love child of rebellion and practicality, an ideal look with spring’s fantastic dresses, skirts and shorts. Or try Preen’s color blocked Paider heels ($155) to transition you from the office to date night. Romantic and feminine, these are spot-on  with spring’s pastel trend craze.

To shop, click here. Each designer certainly “rises” to the occasion!

Trust me, you will go Gaga over Mugler’s Fall 2012 collection, as every piece was complicatedly designed and fashioned together in a way that only two modern geniuses could come up with. Creative director Nicola Formichetti and Mugler’s head of women’s designer, Sébastien Peigné took a step into the future with asymmetrical looks, modern peplums, and a lot of edge. Clean and sleek looks came down the runway in the most luxe of materials, such as fox fur and leather. Sheer black fabrics and playful fringe also made a debut for a sexy, yet playful addition. Formichetti and Peigné did not forget to put some bright colors within their collection to brighten up your fall looks, as they included a vibrant red jumpsuit and a tangerine dress with a high slit.

See by Chloé

In a more youthful approach, Chloé’s sister line, See by Chloé took the runway during fashion week via Digitalfashionshows.com’s newest platform, which allows invite only guests to view thirty looks by the brand. See by Chloé seems to take on the persona of the beautiful little sister, as ensembles were stunningly clean and modern. The palette was minimal yet strong, with white, cream, nude, black, and rust. The colors combined with the silhouettes to create a sultry smoldering, yet fun collection for fall. Silk Georgette blouses and dresses gave a simple nod to its possibly Grecian inspiration through the draping and flow of the fabrics, while the trousers remained beautifully tailored.

Rochas

Inspired by a Swedish ceramicist, Wilhelm Kage, Marco Zanini’s Fall 2012 ready to wear collection for Rochas‘ newest line felt like a strong clothing-based derivative of the main motif. Combining purple, ink blue, bronze, jade, golden yellow, and brown with rich materials, such as jacquard and knits, Zanini put a retro twist on graphic prints in oversized silhouettes. Rochas mixed geometric prints that had a day to night appeal, regardless if you’re going to work or evening cocktails.

Rock & Republic Hits Kohl’s

by

I got to see the pieces live, in motion, and up close during an intimate runway show displaying the new men’s and women’s looks of Rock & Republic exclusively at Kohl’s! Besides being slightly mesmerized by the start studded front row, I was able to analyze and scrutinize the collection, and I’ll give you the verdict right now – on the runway, and in hand, the denim looks great! It is certainly a premium product at a value. Intrigued? You can  shop Rock & Republic right now at Kohl’s; a quick survey of the women’s denim section saw prices marked down from $55-$68-not too shabby!
