D&G Goes Baroque

I know we aren't through with summer yet - not even halfway through, technically! - but all this dull weather has got me thinking about trends for A/W 2012. After a shopping trip in London yesterday with my good friend Ray, I found myself sorting through some of my old clothes to re-sell or give to charity... and found some real forgotten gems. A lot of black, glitter, and heavy embellishment. So it comes as no surprise that my favourite look for A/W '12 so far is that romantic yet dark Baroque trend, seen at Dolce & Gabbana.

Here's a selection from their runway show. As you can see, beyond-vintage rose prints are back (time to dig out that tapestry bag), as is the socks-and-heels trend of last year. Nice to see the Peter Pan collar is sticking around, as well as the peplum. And just look at that cape! 

Hope this gets you as excited about the colder months as it does myself!
