Inappropriate?

Is it just me, or does this Marchesa number make this poor girl look like she needs a serious waxing? Just me? Thought so....

Spring 2012 RTW - Badgley Mischka

It's always nice to see a collection by designers who are not afraid to create eveningwear with a huge jolt of color. Rather than the usual collection of frothy neutrals (see Marchesa), Badgely Mischka broke out the sherbet hues - raspberry, orange, and lemon - using both solids and subtle prints to turn out a rather delectable collection. Here are my favorites.

Spring 2012 RTW - Zac Posen

Zac Posen's Spring RTW collection is deliciously-retro - full of boning, tulle, and structured shoulders. All of his gowns would make a real splash on the red carpet of any major award show, particularly the stunning green number at the bottom of these photos.

Posen usually includes at least one cracktastical piece in each collection. This time around, the gravity-defying neckline in the second photo is certainly the most shocking element amid the other, rather-modest, garments. It should come with a roll of duct tape.

Spring 2012 RTW - Christian Siriano

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano is constantly evolving as a designer. While at first he seemed to want to stick to two major silhouettes - skinny pants with broad shouldered jackets and snug-bodiced full-skirted gowns, mostly in neutral shades - he's starting to show some real versatility. His Spring 2012 ready-to-wear collection is indeed wearable, with sprightly day looks and frothy evening gowns in shades of acid yellow and orange. Here are my favorite looks from the collection.

Paris Fashion Week Spring 2011 RTW - Zac Posen

Considering that most of Zac's models look like they're planning to run around town in their unmentionables, there are some really gorgeous looks in this collection. I'm particularly fond of the two black/white ombre gowns.
