Anthony Vaccarello 2012

Belgian designer, Anthony Vaccarello, who is based in Paris has shown a very sexy collection for spring 2012. Eyecatching and let's say mindblowing. Easily worn? Not a chance in hell. If you want to wear the dress above (if we now can call it a dress?) you have to be at the gym at least five times a week, go on a low carb diet and have the mother of all metabolisms. The garment is sexy and the model looks stunning but with this one Anthony Vaccarello has a very limited clientel, but that could be what he is aiming for.

When I look at this collection the first thing that springs to mind is Versace. The collection is very Versace. In a way i think it is quite reassuring that a designer can be become hugely successful even if the style is quite similar to someone elses. When it comes down to it, if the customers want it then everything is hunkydory. That will always be the deal breaker. If you dish out what the customers want to buy, you survive.
