Givenchy has me OBSESSED for Fall!

Richard Tisci's Fall 2012 Haute Couture collection is the result of drawing inspiration from mixing the simple lines of the 1960"s and the street style of modern day gypsies from southern Italy.

This beautiful mix of inspiration is evident in the rich fabrics, the stunning prints and the liquidity of the silhouettes.  I seriously can't decide what I want more, to be decked out in fringe or to be covered in exquisitely plush furs.

While I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get my paws on one of these beyond insanely gorgeous pieces, check out my top looks from Givenchy's Fall 2012 Haute Couture Collection.

Just a warning, be prepared because these are totes drool worthy!

Top Resort 2013 Looks & Trends:

3.1 Phillip Lim: Comfy, clean lines are the staple shape.  And yes, there are still hints to the relaxed  Pajama trend.  Now it's urban chic

3.1 Phillip Lim: Workman vibe re-done in a urban chic way with the update to a skinny  boyfriend  fit leg & by using leather as the focal fabrication

Celine: Updating the current sheer trend by layering a sheer jumpsuit over a short ensemble of fun scarf prints

Erdem: Lace isn't going anywhere. Update to incorporate key pops of neon colored lace.

Givenchy: Taking the current print-tastic trend to a whole new level by using prints & geo-shapes to create an optical illusion

Givenchy: Introducing Spring's new silhouette/shape, The Cape

Jonathan Saunders: Prints, prints, and more prints.  Now in a clear symmetric, hazy,  and hippy chic version.

Lanvin: Pleats aren't going away anytime soon.  Add some edge to maxi pleats via a leather belt.

Ostwald Helgason: Sporty meets Print-tastic.  Don't be afraid to mix and blend the two, in fact it's encouraged

Prada: Keeping with the Athleticism theme but giving it a twist with color-blocked fur

Stella McCartney: Florals, florals and more florals.

Thakoon: Cut-outs are still a huge trend and now are more prominently done as a pattern.

Chic Robot Geishas + Feathers= Spring 2011

Maybe it's because I just finished watching the "Last Samurai" (I don't care what anyone says it's an awesome movie) but I couldn't help but be re-captivated by the beauty of Japanese culture.  The ode and style of the Harajuku Movement is so 2 years ago.  What Givenchy did with their 2011 collection is not only a homage to the old with an innovative and fun play on the new.  I call it the homage to the "Robotic Japanese Geisha"!  This collection is the epitome of Spring with the playful use of feathers (which if you aren't hip to this, get on it) but when you add clean structural pleats and folds with a bad ass headpiece it's definitely the bar to set.  I'm at this moment trying to get my hands on the yellow Robotic Samurai Headpiece-cross your fingers I find this headpiece!
