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.

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.
