For Fall 2012, creative director Marc Jacobs took Louis Vuitton for a ride on the Polar Express. Models played the part of extravagant travelers, complete with bellmen at their sides to carry their luxurious luggage. The rich fabrics, plush furs, and jewel-toned embroidery created a wonderfully, stunning fantasy world leaving us with just one question: where can we buy a ticket for Louis Vuitton's Polar Express?
There was no shortage of luxe on the Alexander McQueen runway in Paris. Shearling fur, modern-cut lace, and delicate embroidery were present in every look. Designer Sarah Burton seemed to be channeling the ski slopes this season – but taking a more futuristic, modern approach to her designs. The cozy outerwear is absolutely perfect for the cold Fall weather to come.

With crystal and sand-covered scenery, and models with glittery eyebrows, Karl Lagerfeld delivered a collection with no shortage of drama. Chanel's eclectic pieces featured a mix of fabrics, textures, and colors – details such as embroidery and embellishments could be seen throughout. Lagerfeld did not disappoint - the collection was bold, exciting, and very fun.
The message was bold elegance at Yves Saint Laurent's Fall 2012 runway show. Models were wrapped in fitted thick wool and leather outerwear. The black, cream, and emerald color palette was topped off with a rouge lip, which seemed to embody the modern YSL woman. It was Creative Director Stefano Pilati's final collection for the house. Although it's sad to see him go, we're excited for what's to come for YSL.
For Fall 2012, Lanvin showcased bold designs with varied textures and silhouettes. The show began with a technicolor moment of eight sleek rainbow looks, followed by dark tones and rich fabrics. Full skirts were countered with slimming, body-con skirts – all immaculately tailored. Alber Elbaz, once again, proved that dressing up should be fun, glamorous, and make a statement.
Despite being on its third season without a definite Creative Director, the brand delivered a beautiful collection for Fall 2012. Cinched dresses and delicate chiffon, signatures of Dior, were prominent throughout the collection. Precious silk dresses cascaded down the runway in a variety of grays, powder pinks, and rich purple hues - we especially enjoyed the pop of bright pink mixed within the more muted tones.
