This doll-inspired runway collection of the new David del Rio Fall/Winter 2012 line featured models that not only walked down the runway in dapper, dandy styles, but also sported plastic helmet wigs that made them look like vintage Ken dolls.
A velvet blazer with a floral bow ties and clip-on lapel flowers provided for some stark contrast when shown next to a black and white pinstriped, skirted suit. Beaded details, fringed adornments, tapestry textiles and furs were just a few of the key elements that helped unify this romantic collection. So if you’re looking for some softer, avant-garde style, consider some pieces from the David del Rio Fall/Winter 2012 collection for your wardrobe next season.
