WVVP: Rulers of the Fall Runway (to name a few)

Fellow fashion-enthused followers - welcome to another instalment of the Weekly Video Viewing party series!  This weeks focus....I give to you, runways from around the world (for the fall 2012 season, that is)!

First up, we have Chanel, with it's Fall 2012 collection, filled with encrusted coats, as well as eyebrows!  Sparkly sweaters and jumpsuits were to be found, as well as coordinating coat and skirt combos.  With rich gem tones, shoulder and sleeve embellishments, as well as a new take on the t-strap heel, Chanel's show has got many elements that actually have me excited for the fall and winter!

Next up Jill Sander took the stage.  Lots of pale pinks and browns started off the show, but as it progressed, the colors continually got deeper, and by the end of the show we had lacquered looking black garments.  Floor grazing coats and jumpsuits, high-waisted pants, as well as the return of the turtleneck - all in all I think Jill Sander's runway felt crisp tailored, with a couple of pieces that reminded me of Grace Kelly.  Strapless dresses were also ever present.

Last for today, here's a personal favorite of mine, Alexander McQueen.  FUR.  So much of it, as well as feathers galore ran around this runway show.  Lots of textured pieces, embellished with crystal-esque looking objects, as well as items that that were reminiscent of paper doilies.  Pleats and soft pinks gave way to bold gem tones and extravagant dresses that reminded me of creatures perhaps from another dimension.  Bold, but always beautiful, what an interesting show Alexander McQueen put on this time!
(p.s- capes made an appearance again)
