Spring Summer 2012 have been a futuristic breath of air to the luxurious, precious women we’ve experienced in the fall winter 2011 collections. High technology in prints, and patterning as well as laser cut have been adapted by many designers. Marc Jacobs used embellishment, sequins as well as vinyl and sheer fabrics as skirts.

Istanbul Fashion Week is becoming better each year and expectations are going even further. Bloggers, fashion designers, fashion personas all over the world will raid through Istanbul for the fashion in the following year. That is of course our yearning.
