Inspiration: 2012 fashion shows

I wouldn't consider myself to be a devoted follower of couture fashion (who has the time?!?), but I sure do love a good fashion fix every now and again. So, when I stumbled across these incredible 2012 shows on the blog of our pal & super talented calligrapher, Mara, of Neither Snow, I just had to share them. Talk about inspiration!!

I am swooning over the clothes, but really what I'm gaga for is the show /set design of both shows. I LOVE the all white under-the-sea stage for Chanel and the carousel concept for Louis Vuitton. Both are just genius!! It's amazing how inspiration can come from just about anything.
