Yesterday I attended the Jenny Packham Spring 2012 show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Known for her red carpet ready gowns, Jenny Packham really knows how to make beautiful dresses that fit the body well. This was one of the many collections for Spring 2012 that heavily used pastels (in hues of lemon, tangerine, seafoam green, powder blue and coral). Pastels are perfect for these “fairy like” dresses Jenny designs, along with intricate beading, feminine ruffles and her signature high slits. And although mostly pastel, she did throw in a few bright pops of color in cherry red and turquoise blue to get that surprise factor throughout the collection.

An early show (9am) it’s not easy to get those seats filled, but Mandy Moore decided not to go all diva on us and she was very prompt to the show, wearing a really cool sequin jacket that was perfect for 9am.

Overall it was a gorgeous collection (one I was really looking forward to) and I’m sure we’ll be seeing plenty of these dresses come awards season this Fall!
