Style Wise : Lauren Moffatt Fall 2012


Of all the spectacular NYFW Fall 2012 showings, one in particular I was extremely charmed by was American designer Lauren Moffatt's RTW collection which took the concept of going back to school quite literally. The presentation staged at the Old School which used to house St. Patrick's Cathedral School had models set up in two classrooms, one a traditional style with desks and a makeshift chem lab in the corner and the other an art class with easels.

The venue couldn't be a more appropriate backdrop for this lovely school girl inspired collection. I'm a fan of the modest midi lengths and have always adored the unabashed prettiness of her chic trademark prints. The vintage styling of these silhouettes with details like Peter Pan collars, sequins and playful cut-outs just feel so sweetly feminine and wearable to me. I'm ready to go back to school this fall... See the full collection here.

There's still time to enter my Harvey Prince fragrance giveaway!

oh! These are almost to cute to be true, love the concept! A conceptual collation doesn't always work when it comes to make things come true, but this one worked wonderfully!

Oh, this collection is just too cute for words. How chic and adorable! I love all the designs and couldn't agree with you more in regards to the backdrop. I feel like carrying a book bag! Ok, maybe not (my science books were soooooo heavy). hahaha Rowena, this is great! I've fallen in love with it too. Girl, thank you so much for your comments on my post. I LOVE YOU!!! You are such a doll! I push for 5 topics a week, but when I started my new blog this year I said 4 would be ok. HAHAHA But I always feel my readers want more, so I try and go that extra mile. It's work, can be frustrating at times, but definitely rewarding. I think about you and some others that truly keep me going. In the mornings, I'm like what is Rowena posting about today? HAHAHA Thanks for being a good friend. ((HUG)) Have a great day!

Such a cute way to present the clothes. I love the feel of them although there's not many pieces that I think would be flattering on me.
