The Thakoon FW 2012 show boasted a rambunctious backstage atmosphere, mirroring the outlandish, youthful collection. The show featured a mashup of era-inspired details and textures.
The collection pulled its inspiration through several generations. The models donned 1920s flapper-inspired strappy heels and knee-length skirts. Sharply juxtaposed with the quiet pieces are fuzzy neon jackets, highly reminiscent of the early 90s. The 90s influence extended into tailoring, with box collars and slight-crop sweaters. The models wore cropped hairstyles with an edgy fringe and neon-red lips. The combination of cross-generational detailing is accomplished ingeniously.
As read on his website, Thakoon "imparts a feminine spirit, poised elegance and an underlying hint of playful wit." The Thakoon FW 2012 collection is for the playful lady who doesn't take herself, or her style, too seriously.
