There are some really great pieces in this collection and some pieces that are not my favorite.  However, usually something that is paired with something I do not like I love.  There are fun splashes of color here and there and the dress at 7:15 is stellar.  I love the blue and black silky and matte colors together.  It looks fun and flirty but can also look Kimono like.  I get that.. but I still love it.  The flirty slit up the front that gives a flow and movement to the skirt that I want in my closet.  There are small similarities hidden in the collection with shirts made similarly.  However, the shirt directly in front of the dress at 7:00 into the show has this cheap looking trim around the neckline that takes away from the beauty of the materials together (which is used in a few other pieces also).  I do not like the Pleather looking gray coats/jackets in here but love the lace look of a lot of the collection.

I like quiet a few pieces of the collection but not necessarily together.  I give the show a 7 overall out of a 10 rating.  Even though I find some of the pieces really great I also find some of the materials looking cheap.  The black and blue pieces are my favorite of the collection.  What do you think of this 2012 collection?
