New York Fashion Week SS12: Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Reem Acra
Who: Oscar de la Renta
What it made us think of: I've had a crappy couple of weeks, so looking at pretty dresses and dreaming of a life of non-stop parties makes me happy.
What we liked: feathers, wide leg pants, bow blouses, lace evening ponchos, freshly unbraided and brushed crimpy hair, the shoes, yellow
What we didn't: Some of the sleeves made the evening gowns look like period costumes. This!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-AZBc2p4t7SF0FoOxzSlIpBPyxwy4aM1DWrXMDD9hJTFakSoGGkUKwOQp13VJSalFkxHuA_zliOKEq1X6f_xSE58z5_N40t1c7re16YqwmSmW-W-rqtDCgq0PV0tr0W7uuYkOi941IFc/s400/oscar+de+la+renta+gowns+evening+dresses+2012.jpg)
Who: Carolina Herrera
What it made us think of: Terribly stylish advanced geometry students
What we liked: shapes, lines, birds!, bow blouses, trench coats, red, green
What we didn't: puffy pants, barely there shoes, slumpy rounded shoulders
Who: Reem Acra
What it made us think of: Biology slides
What we liked: colorful prints, cage shoes,
What we didn't: While certainly pretty, some of the dress shapes were dullsville. The sequins weren't as interesting as the prints.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioNLVke2mMWzL3mubKy4Scp8IYmsn01mQfb2vJR2TqLrB20_YvyUIBWBwB-Q0WfTTaJxR0UXrGAiFf1iJlHwmfvyPQAPJMS8-A9cu8cp_NXfrNetgVkzb4raEsKIuM9QF_bLZUi2KIflk/s400/reem+acra+spring+summer+2012+new+york+fashion+week.jpeg)
