Spring = Under The Sea!

Spring 2012...

... sees a very apparent trend on the runway: Under The Sea

From Stella McCartney, to Versace, Armani, The Row, McQueen even... there
were loads of pearalized turq hues mixed in with shocking coral-reef-like colours, whites and creams,
not to forget shimmery silvery sequined and beaded bits to remind us of the sun bouncing off the ocean waves, the look of glistening sand against our skin on a warm summer day at the beach... siiigh

Prints are all mostly abstract, but all denote swirling water and all things oceanic.
Versace played around with shells and seahorses were studded onto pencil skirts... ooh! Pretty!

Givenchy included a shark-toothed necklace into his runway show, and my all time fav would have to be the pretty pearly Chanel large sea-shell clutch (see below)

I must say, the "under the sea" jig is slightly cliche, however I think this Spring has seen a real
creative and fresh take on this fantastical theme... Something new from ye'ol Spring means Floral, if you know what I mean...

LOVE!
