Riccardo Tisci...right on point again with the Givenchy pre-fall 2012 collection.

The footwear is beyond amazing...as style.com notes, "instant collector's items."

givenchy becomes her

She entitled her post "ice cream colors." I call it her best look...ever.

...and I've been a loyal follower for years.

I couldn't help but repost this look.

for my most recent studio project, we had to incorporate molding into our design. it was fun to research the different styles of molding and see what color can do to highlight or conceal the design. i will probably do a follow-up post because i have so many photos on this subject that i want to share! enjoy.
