Parsi Fashion Week SS12: Chanel, Valentino

By -
Who: Chanel
What it made us think of: Little Mermaid if she'd taken to being a socialite mer-princess instead of wanting to be human.
What we liked: Aquatic feel, scales, suits, lines, pockets
What we didn't: The pieces that look like they have an oil slick down the front, the really plain bathing suits
Who: Valentino
What it made us think of: High Fashion Anne of Green Gables meets Victoria's Secret
What we liked: Puffy sleeves!, lace, florals, delicate dresses, well placed sheer
What we didn't: Poorly placed sheer, block of plain dresses, overly nightgown-ish looks
