Farhi’s London Woman – For fall 2012, Nicole Farhi chose to make clothes for the modern woman with a moody outing of tailored jackets, form-fitting skirts and elegant dresses. A far cry from last season’s pastel hues–autumn was all about sleek, streamlined silhouettes in shades of dark emerald, black, ivory and bronze. The heavy outerwear was paired with thin belts around the waist, charcoal stockings and leather gloves. Farhi embellished the strong shapes with glittering sequins and paillettes, bringing a glamorous edge to the structured shapes.
I love many of these pieces. I’m especially enamored of the copper/black sequined stuff, like the skirt worn by Daga Ziober in the last look. But, while I get what they were going for with the make-up, it’s just too sickly. Goth make-up when done right can be amazing, but this whole half-dead-from-tuberculosis look is just kinda gross.
What a fabulous, wonderful collection! I love the coloring & designs. The coat in particular worn by Monika Sawicka is amazing!
Like it. Some peaces are breathtakening!
