Inspired by, among many things, Greek goddesses, architecture, Georgia O'Keefe, and sea shapes, some of the world's top designers showed collections filled with fringe, colour blocking, lace, and new silhouettes for Spring 2012. What exists under the sea was on the minds of Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld, Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci, and Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton. Twentieth-century Mexico inspired the romantic dresses at Valentino while architectural shapes informed the collections at Hermés and Céine.
