NYFW: L.A.M.B. SS 2012

The big question regarding this season’s L.A.M.B. presentation was whether people would attend. We previously reported on the talks of the designer Gwen Stefani being a a no-show to her own presentation since she’s finishing up her latest record with No Doubt…it was no wonder the two lines of editors, writers, fans caused a chaotic scene waiting to get into to view the collection.  Yes. But let’s talk about the clothes shall we?

Stefani is strongest when she designs for herself. The star’s style is notable, fun, and a look many a girls can emulate. Printed jumpsuits (with a loose, forgiving fit and tapered, cropped leg) paired with bright, chunky heels could have easily walked off the set of one of her music videos.

A ruffled tuxedo shirt offered up a more demure take when paired with pants in the same print as the aforementioned one-piece, while an animal-print combo (matching top and pants) was fun and looked like something straight out of the designer’s own closet. In fact, the strongest pieces were those that screamed Stefani. Even the loose fitting green trousers were very much on par with her personal style.

Guess we didn’t miss Gwen after all—she was definitely there in spirit.
