When designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka informed the fashion world that they were implementing more shape and structure into their designs, who knew the silhouette they had in mind would be so brilliant. The two masterminds behind well known brand Badgley Mischka debuted their new Spring 2012 collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York earlier this week on the 13th of September. The brand is well known for their beautiful flowing feminine styles, however this collection boasted of a more structural style, complete with a beautiful color palette, and lots of bows.

Popular transitional fabrics, such as chiffon and jersey, graced the runway, as models donned many dresses that resembled the Stepford Wives look with a stylish twist. The collection boasted of extreme femininity, and consisted of many styles that could easily be worn off the runway. The colors were that of beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and rich hues such as turquoise, nectarine, and jewel tones. Brocade and barely there shorts also played a part in the well rounded collection, giving style options for the workplace, elegant evenings, and swimwear. Standout pieces included the floor length ruffled gowns, as well as the contrast of a motorcycle jacket over swimwear. This collection was definitely one worth the wait.
