Backstage at Alexis Mabille's Spring/Summer 2012 Show

I absolutely love it when designers work to do something abstract to compliment the fashion they have created! It adds that essence of allure and fantasy that I believe fashion shows are really all about. I like this make up especially because it leaves you just staring at the models almost trying to picture what they look like without the make up. It looks a little ugly at times, but mostly it is just fun! Then, it isn't until the end of the video where you really get a peek at the clothing, and it is wonderful!  Two thumbs up to Alexis Mabille!

Absolutely LOVING these pastel color mixes that are so chic this season. They have almost a neon like quality because they are bright but still within the pastel color pallet. Major fashion inspiration for me!!!

Marc Jacobs entire 2012 Collection STOLEN

Apparently the entire Spring/Summer 2012 Marc Jacobs Collection was stolen en route from Paris to London from a train! The 46 look collection consisted of drop-waist skirts, and cellophane coctail dresses with translucent and tinsel fabrics. Incredibly tragic!!!
Here is a little peak:

p.s. The look in the middle is absolutely to DIE for! I am doing to try to replicate it in my own way from my items in my closet! Lovely color! 

Designer Marios Schwab Exits Halston, Too!

I don't know what the heck is going on behind the scenes at the Halston design house, but what a mess! The word is that Sarah Jessica Parker and Harvey Weinstein have both parted from the house in the last 48 hours and now Designer Marios Schwab is following them out the door. Coco Perez reported that Marios was informed his contract as designer would not be renewed and he left, simply waled out. It looks like the 2012 collections will not be made, which word is...they have already been ordered by different boutiques and stores for upcoming sale. Something is awry and it makes me wonder...is the design house going to come crashing to the ground without these amazing fashion moguls their to hold it up? Read the story on cocoperez.com:
