The 2012 Spring Summer collections are hitting the runways of Milan, London, New York et al.

As much as I love dressing up for winters (which is hard considering Mumbai weather), I had been pretty intrigued to see what the spring summer 2012 would have in-store. Was tied up with numerous things since past few days, but finally got a chance to rummage through the videos and images of SS2012 collection and I like what I see.

Spring summer 2012 was brimming with clean silhouette and all things colours with a domination of pastels and candy colours. Colour clashing continues but its more muted, feminine and demure with pastels reigning the collection. Florals in soft colours, geometric and african prints. Infusion of black was also seen but these are the new blacks more contemporary and refined.

I have put together some of my favorite photos and videos of the entire Spring Summer 2012 runway collections - Acne, Ralph Lauren, Band of Outsiders, Jill Stuart, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Proenza Shouler, Derek Lam.
While most collections favoured soft tones and burst of feminism, Gucci's spring summer gravitated towards a dark colour palette of blacks and sharp tailoring. Infusion of colours here and there (particularly green), scarf-style dresses, harem trousers and embellishments with Aztec vibe added the summer touch to this androgynous collection.


Antonio Berardi's Spring Summer 2012 is also on my wish list. Check out the video:


Which is your favourite? If I had the means, would buy pretty much everything from the spring summer collection of Proenza Shouler and Jill Stuart.

Looking forward for the winter, and then the summer. Is there any season you don't want to shop?
