Vogue and Vera Wang

Although this type of journalism may differ from the other things I am going to be writing about within this blog such as Law, Philosophy and talking about the dreaded Shorthand, my ambition in life is to become a Fashion Journalist so throughout this blog I will also be mentioning the up and coming fashions within the industry. The spring/summer collection 2012 show by Vera Wang was held recently at New York fashion week. Her ready to wear collection was inspired by Alice in Wonderland therefore the collection entailed some youthful, simplistic pieces which are far from her bridal gowns which she has become synonymous with; especially after the recent wedding of the year, the Armenien beauty Kim Kardashian.

As the models walk down the runway to the sound of a childlike melody of an antique music box, the unique pristine white outfits connotes a sense of purity of the collection, relating it to the ever-loved Alice in Wonderland theme. However, contrasting this theme, a selection of more athletic garments where included with hoods and drawstrings on jackets, short-shorts and simplistic vests, adding a significant edge to the femine frills and sharp white, included within the rest of the collection.

The significantly recognisable front rowers were Beyonce and sister Solange Knowles, Chanel embassader Jen Brill and the Vera Wang fan, Kim Kardashian. All of which seemed overally impressed by the floor-length numbers released at the end of the show, overall creating a good aura for the audience and Vera herself.
