AMATO SS12
The Amato Spring/Summer 2012 Couture collection is nothing short of bizarre, extravagant and down right amazing!
The combination of luxurious gowns in decadent materials, with cyborg like accessories is stunning. The mix is unlike anything I've ever come across before, but it definitely works.
The organza gowns, many with lace detailing, where ethereal...moving with each model as she walked. Uber feminine and chic, they would have been stunning as a stand alone collection in themselves: however with the inclusion of rigid metal and plastic neck braces, the juxtaposition created took the collection to new heights!
Again, the colour palette was very feminine, in pastels and nudes...all of which where illuminated with the metal and neon lighting of the masks, giving the pieces an otherworldly atmosphere.
The cut of each dress created some gasp-inducing silhouettes, some of which look to be somewhat Mcqueen inspired... I love the 'It shouldn't work-but it does' combination of extremely feminine materials/colours with the harsh cuts and exaggerated shoulders.
Here are my favourite pieces from the collection. You can see the rest of the gowns (as well as the previous work of Furne One, Amato's creative director) over at the official website amatohautecouture.com

GARETH PUGH SS12
Once again Mr Pugh has failed to disappoint with his triumphant Spring/Summer 2012 collection, not that I would expect anything less...
In true Pugh style, the show was a monochromatic and futuristic spectacle...the collection was everything you would expect and more. Pugh never fails to take things that little bit further, constantly improving on his trademark style!
Architectural and grid like dresses where a-plenty, along with voluminous skirts, block monochrome shift dresses, and horizontal print fabric. I love the way that Pugh manages to reinvent what to most designers would be a very limited colour palette...
The flashes of skin amidst the black and white slatted dresses also gives them an extra dimension...almost like an optical illusion. Another futuristic effect that Pugh often employs in his collections...
The metallic purple gowns at the end of the show however are a personal favourite...With the added headwear, the whole ensemble reminded me of an alien queen, threatening and sexy all at the same time...It's rare for Pugh to branch out with a bit of colour and despite the two pieces not really fitting in with the rest of the collection, I still love them and am glad they where included!
