Giambattista Valli was born to design couture. I am not saying his prêt-a-porter collections are bad. They are fresh and interesting. But his couture ranges (two of them have been presented so far) are absolutely incredible. The one he unveiled for Spring 2012 left me breathless.

Giambattista Valli’s ballgowns impressed me the most. Pompous, luxurious and sophisticated at the same time these came as the climax of the designer’s Spring 2012 Couture show. Floral prints were amazing and the colors looked great.

Other floor length gowns were more demure but they were also chic and exquisite which automatically put them into the range of future red carpet choices. The drapery was outstanding and finished with golden flowers used as necklaces, and collars it created an incredible effect.

Just like his more sumptuous designs Giambattista Valli’s cocktail dresses and ensembles from the Spring 2012 Couture collection were clearly inspired by flowers which realized in a variety of patterns and lovely details that made the garments look interesting.

A little white dress is a perfect item for warm seasons which explains why so many designers included interesting and fashionable white dresses into their Spring/ Summer 2012 collections. These dresses come in different shades of white, from snowy white to creamy white. And styles vary from simple and straight to girlie and cute, adorned with frills, sequins and finished with asymmetrical hemlines.

Badgley Mischka, Givenchy and Betsey Johnson decorated their little white dresses with peplums. Oscar de la Renta, Moschino and Roccobarocco played with lace and floral print. Louis Vuitton, Jason Wu and Marchesa used feathered elements to make their dresses more beautiful and unusual.

Vionnet and Bebe featured asymmetrical hemlines. Victoria Beckham, Andrew Gn and Jean Paul Gaultier opted for an open shoulder style. And Versace and John Richmond beautified their little white dresses with glittering studs.

Most of little white dresses presented by designers for Spring/ Summer 2012 fashion season come in mini lengths and will be ideal for young girls with slender legs. There are midi versions too, which are more demure but still very sexy.

Some of these little white dresses can make a statement on their own due to unique and eye-catching elements they feature. Others, simpler ones, need to be accessorized to become attention-grabbers. For example, Giambattista Valli dress with fur detail looks impressive without any bracelets, necklaces or bags. But Jason Wu frock with a peter-pan collar should be complemented with a black belt and a tiny clutch for an elegant look.

Of course, these are not all the white dresses from Spring/ Summer 2012 collection but they are the most amazing, in my opinion. Tell me which you like the most and which you think I should add to the list.

Katy Perry goes first with her sexy Marchesa dress. The frock featured a white pleated skirt and a see-through top that kept Katy’s dignity covered with tattoo-like prints. The Teenage Dream singer accessorized her look with Jimmy Choo shoes, Swarovski clutch, Sutra earrings, and a black diamond ring from M.C.L. Her hair, totally brown with bright purple and blue locks, looked unusual but pretty. (See Katy Perry’s very special Russel-Brand manicure!)

Let’s talk about bracelets now. Bracelets are must-haves in any woman’s wardrobe. And we all have so many of them! But do you know that they initially were worn only by men? Read the history of bracelets here.

Spring-Summer 2010 season sees lots of bracelets worn all over the arm, from wrists to forearms. And the diversity of styles and designs is huge.

Let me show you the bracelets I liked the most in designers’ collections.

John Galliano and Lanvin created very elaborate and chic pieces, with lots of beads, chains and gemstones.

Jean Paul Gaultier preferred plastic to other materials and made very extravagant bracelets which could be worn on forearms and elbows.

Chanel pieces are classy and sophisticated and will be perfect for evening outfits.

Bracelets from Karl Lagerfeld and Valentino are very unusual but look sumptuous.

Marc by Marc Jacobs offer us to wear simple pieces similar to toys we buy for babies.

Dolce&Gabbana items look luxurious. They are adorned with coins and black gemstones.

Giorgio Armani bracelets are elegant and classy, perfect for special occasions and chic garments.

Louis Vuitton want us to wear bright baubles.

Gucci and Missoni created simple metallic pieces for everyday wear.

Oscar de la Renta went a more traditional path and made universal-looking bracelets. Richard Nicoll, on the contrary, used less conventional shapes. He used fabric and beads to create his works of art.

Sparkling pieces were made by Dries Van Noten and Giambattista Valli.

Hermes and Anna Sui seem to have spent lots of time on accessories because the diversity of their bracelets is amazing.

Statement jewelry is back in the game.

Stones, metals, beads, massive chains and crystals are of great value for Autumn/Winter 2009-2010.

Super massive and extravagant necklaces were in John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, Thakoon and Lanvin collection.

Plenty of metals and geometrical shapes were presented in their jewelry lines. John Galliano’s Fall 2009 collection was inspired by the Tsar Russian mood.

The pendants are round and very heavy.

Lanvin used the geometrical mosaic: cubs, ovals and squares.

Thakoon loves triangles, and Marc Jacobs preferred black sparkle squares.

Victoria was wearing a Giambattista Valli grey shift dress and black skin-tight-thigh-high 2,000 pounds PVC boots.

These rubber stockings/boots have platforms, but are absolutely heel-less, giving the vision that Vicky is balancing all her weight on her tippy toes.

That’s just crazy.

Victoria said to the crowds inside:

The turn-out has been absolutely phenomenal so thank you so much for queuing up for so long in the rain. It’s great for us to be here. We’re very, very excited. I look forward to meeting you all, so thank you.”

Her footballer husband David Beckham, in a striped Tom Ford suit, added:

I’d also like to thank everyone who turned up and hope it will be a great day as well. Thank you.”

The Beckham couple signed autographs and bubbles of their new aroma, Beckham Signature For Him and Beckham Signature For Her.
