Tracy Reese
Color for fall is a seemingly common theme on the runways, but Tracy Reese‘s take was certainly her own as she continued doing what she loves: bold color (juicy reds and yellows) and adventurous prints. Those short sleeve cocktail dresses oozed metallic superiority. Meanwhile, the peplum jackets with skinny trousers communicated a more sophisticated, feminine, sweet sensation. Silk blouses, cowl neck sweaters, graphic embellishments, and fur collars often stood out.

Custo Barcelona
Talk about zeal for fashion, texture, and color! Custo Barcelona‘s Fall 2012 Runway show aimed to give “homage to the pioneers of creativity.” The show was full of fervor, a whirlwind of color, fringe, sparkles and volumes. Jackets were a sure highlight of the collection with electrifying metallic applications and technically finished fabrics. Cocoon shapes were our personal favorite, but there were also strong versions of uniformed length. There was something native in the raw cuts of the collection, or perhaps the symbolic color representations: white for purity, red for love, green for nature, brown for earth, and black for unity. The overall expression was the love child of art and culture.
