Sneak Peek: Tucker for Spring/Summer 2012

by

Rhythmical mixing-and-matching helps comprise the silky, vintage-inspired, and somewhat uncanny Spring 2012 collection created by Tucker. As stated by designer Gaby Basora, “the Tucker Spring 2012 collection is based on a South American woman who ran a vaudeville theater, the royal Tanenbaums, and traveling troupes of performers.”

A peek at the lookbook has me dreaming of travels to an strange land.; the clothes are breezy, with the company’s trademark silk crepe de chine and tailored staples.  There is certainly no shortage of prints, patterns, or color either. I adore the delicate florals, crimson polkas, bright tribal ikats, and most of all, the emerald paisley (above).

“I want the clothes to feel mysteriously familiar, like a resurfacing memory you never want to forget.” (Gaby Basora)

For me, Tucker did exactly that for Spring 2012. There is something to this collection that demands musing over.

The Fashion Pulse Daily New York Fashion Week Team’s Top Spring 2011 Trends:

by

For the spring 2011 season, we certainly saw our fair share of trends. What are our favorites from the season from the Fashion Pulse Daily team? Read on to find out!

Amazing Draping & Pleating
Designers weren’t afraid to show off their deft skills at draping and pleating this season, as horizontal, perfectly laid draping (seen above) and rich, Fortuny-like pleats added an air of ladylike classicism to Spring 2011’s runways.

That 70′ Show

Every season boasts a general consensus of inspiration from decades past, and this time around the ’60s and ’70s most visibly reined. Everyone was talking about the Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs collections that heavily mimicked the 1970s vibe with everything from the hair and sunglasses to the free flowing silhouettes, fabrications, and color palettes.

Spotless Whites
This season I was very much in love with the use of pristine whites on the runway. It added a particular grace to each of the garments. Made from delicate chiffons and silks, these pieces were simple and tasteful. The flowing white fabrics were alluring, with hints of sophistication as well as seduction. The way the material clung to the body showed a true appreciation for the feminine form and highlighted the extraordinary talent of these inspiring designers.

Playful Prints

Who doesn’t love bright colors and eye-catching patterns?  I sure do! My favorite looks this fashion week were the fabulously, funky designs of Zac Posen and Rachel Antonoff. Their quirky baby doll dresses in blues, greens, yellows, and reds were brilliantly conceived and tons of fun! Each look had such a fresh, youthful spirit. Perfect for a girl who simply loves life!
–Claire Schmidt


[Nanette Lepore Spring 2011 Collection]

Blushy Pinks
It brings out color without being garish and overpowering (which sometimes a red or purple can be!) and the slightly warm hue exudes a delicate femininity.
[Jenny Packham Spring 2011 Collection]
Shimmer
It’s like you’re wearing a party! And you can dress it up or down to bring the right amount of glam to what you’re wearing.
