Know Wear

I have to admit that I am surprised at myself this season because of the collections from the New York catwalks that I am finding interesting.

I thought Marchesa, which I often criticise, was exceptionally good. The fact that they actually put a runway show together definitely has something to do with it, as clothes don't look the same when they move. Bur regardless, it was a great collection full of red carpet hits.

I was even more surprised to be going through Jenny Packham's SS12 line and saving some of the looks to my iPhoto. I only started paying attention to the brand since it wouldn't stop being worn by Blake and Leighton on Gossip Girl.

This new collection, like Marchesa, has quite a lot of really nice cocktail and evening numbers that are perfect for Serena and Blair and that I'm hoping to see on Gossip Girl season 5. I love the very settle lingerie detailing on some of the shorter dresses and the heavy embellishing of night gowns, which reminds me of decadent 20's dresses.

Are you a fan of Jenny Packham?
