Anthony Vaccarello S/S 2013



























Paris Fashion Week officially kicked off yesterday with up-and-coming designer ( and what everybody's been referring to as "The Next Generation") Anthony Vaccarello – showing his latest Spring/Summer 2013 collection. With a palette of black and white, liquid-like lamé and metallic animal prints. Miniskirts and one-shoulder dresses were draped and gathered in body-hugging layers around the hips and thighs, while asymmetrical cropped tops with sparkling Swarovski-encrusted zipper details showed off the mid-drift. There were plenty of Vaccarello's signature skin-revealing elements on display — thigh-high slits, cutouts, whisper-thin straps. The collection also included cargo pockets, zips, epaulets, oversize grommets on boxy blouses, slouchy trousers, and double-breasted blazers.
