Feb. 9, 2012 – BCBG Max Azria’s fashion show began at 11:00 PM (EST) at the Theatre.

The color palette involved first, a spectrum of mustard yellow, navy, burgundy, camel/tan, and black, but then transferred to a brighter palette with bright hues of orange, kelly green, yellow, white and royal blue. The end of the show combined both palettes together, for an even better turnout of garments.

Color blocking appeared on many, if not all, garments in the show. (Some items even included color blocking with fur!)

The makeup inspiration was to shoe each model’s natural beauty, with minimal makeup. Hair was parted on the side and slicked back in a chic, low, pony tail.

Here are some of my other favorites from the show:

BCBG Max Azria was founded in 1989 by designer, Chairman and Executive Officer Max Azria and now has become an international phenonmenon. BCBG stands for the parison phrase “Bon chic, bon genre,” meaning, “Good style, good attitude.”
