SS12

These are some of  the photos from SS12 fashion week I saved under inspirations. Breathtaking designs from Haider Ackerman and Sarah Burton (for McQueen), as well as some other photos.

The inspirations from McQueen was the sea, the corals. The pastel orange and pinks really do remind me of the beautiful coral I saw at the Great Barrier Reef. Nature is certainly the biggest inspiration source for some. The garments show that there are still true innovative designers out there and not just fashion stylists for maisons.

Above via self service blog, photos by Morgan O'Donovan, I love the tone of these photos, desaturated and on the cool side. It seems as if the models were taken out of the the chaotic surroundings of backstage.
