Balenciaga
The show began with short shorts and boxy shoulders, with jackets reminiscent of high school letterman varsity jackets. Nothing says Balenciaga more than strong shapes, so not suprisingly, Nicolas Ghesquière drew a bit from the past as well as androgyny, paving a distinctive spring 2012 path with high shine fabrics,color-blocking, and asymmetry.

Balmain
Pastel blue, black leather, a floral motif and delicate embroidery can seem so contradictory, yet young talent Olivier Rousteing blended them together for a gorgeous union. For SS12, Balmain kept the short hem and body-hugging dresses, but slowly introduced sweeping maxis and trousers as well.

Mugler
With Lady Gaga on board, Thierry Mugler may just have created its own set of provocative little monsters. There was a fair share of cutouts and a great deal of sparkle, however balance was maintained in the neutral wash of the color palette. Still, we wouldn’t mess with a Mugler woman- she’s tough, strong, and certainly knows what she wants.

The Renwick Ruins, an abandoned smallpox hospital, on Roosevelt Island in NYC was the inspiration and feel of Sally LaPointe’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection. The culmination of geo shapes, soft fabrics with a mixture of structure, dark colors with lighter beige, yellow, and a cantaloupe green, and powerful makeup balances the intensity of the collection with slightly androgynous, yet still feminine details. Once again, Sally LaPointe has Lady Gaga-fied the runway, as the performer herself is a huge fan of the designer and often sports pieces from the most recent collections!
