Whilst on the i-D website I came across the Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2012 collection. I was drawn to it not only because of the unusual stage props (carrousel) but becasue of the use of white and other pastel colours. Using only white I think is effctive as it lets the designs speak for themselves and gives them a clean, minimalistic backdrop so they can stand out.
I love the pretty girlyness of the pieces all of which have a classic and feminim shape to them. The skirts and dresses are all cut to nip in at the waist and then poof out underneath.I think the flower cut out pattern on the pieces ties in with the girly feel that all the dresses have.
The idea of the models riding on the carrousel I think is a wonderful idea, it gives the audience an original show and allows them to see the collection from all angles. However, I think the models may have struggled getting off and on the carrousel gracefully in heels.
The dress above on the left is my favourite of the collection, I love the shape, layers and use of holes and gaps in the fabric. I think even though there are bits of fabric cut out it still has a very elegant feel.
