PhFW Holiday ’12: Oxygen

Every season, I always look forward to Oxygen’s PhFW show and I see to it that I never miss the fun – which is always epic so many levels, from the runway to the after party! This year, Oxygen takes another twist by being color forward. I haven’t seen Oxygen like this before, what with their fresh new take with the preppy-clean style. Though I’d really prefer their androgynous direction, this is something new for them and they’re good at it!

I love the cut of their jeans! It’s the only perfect fit (well, that’s for me)

Polka-dots are returning this holiday season! Check Oxygen’s polka-dot shirts!

I’m loving their jackets and blazers!

Cardigans for the holidays – classic!

How do you love painting the town red, huh?

And I’m really glad Oxygen did not forget about their monochrome-loving friends – loving these black and white ensembles

Proud Race print tee, Thrifted cover up, M+P+E drop crotch pants, Thrifted military boots

This is an ode to the Oxygen style! Always fresh, always forward! See you again next season, Oxygen!

Or yeah, in your store. Shopping mode: ON!

PhFW Holiday ’12: Premiere B

Albert Andrada

Gold and white really looks good together. I love also the clinical feel.

Details on lapels and pockets, very subtle.

Oriental and clinical

Can you imagine how intricately these dresses have been made?

Bandoix Flores

The one in the middle is my favorite from the whole collection

Butz Fuentes

These look very minimal and comfortable to wear. I like the white details.

Shoulder and collar details.

Cutouts looks intricate, but is the least of my favorite.

The one on the left reminds me when Marc Jacobs wore a Commes des Garcons lace dress to the Met Gala.

Ezra Santos

The menswear looks like dhoti kurta of the Indians. The lace details are a naughty addition.

Metallics incorporated to dresses. And more lace numbers for the men.

I’m not keen with the old rose color, but when combined with metallic details, it kinda works for me.

Shoulder details for both men and women

…and headdresses!

From all the menswear, the one in the right is my favorite because of all the drape details.

Kermit Tesoro

Gold, black, and metals seemed to be the theme with the heelless shoes Tesoro has been known for.

Some of the pieces are still reminiscent of his Knights Templar – inspired menswear collection which he presented in Style Origins’ Mensweek

But he takes it to another level – they’re not just shoes, they’re HOOVES *surreal!*

The brown heelless pair is so minimal!

And for the final two looks, Tesoro featured crab claw heelless shoes. I bet those models had a difficult time strutting those because they look so calculated while walking!
