Fashion found inspiration in the past with the new AW’12 Splash collection featuring a minimalistic mix of culture and trends. The new season wardrobe revisits the realm of Kings and Queens with swishing gowns, bow ties, and ornate jewellery all in the new Fashion Royale collection. Splash Fashion Royale is a collection filled with a melange of traditional and contemporary opulent ‘runway’ feast fit for royalty. Inspired by the season’s trends and the recently concluded catwalk extravaganza in Dubai, Raza Beig, CEO, Splash & ICONIC, said, “Each season the Splash Fashion Shows are uniquely themed keeping in sync with the latest International cat-walk trends and this season Splash’s AW’12 collection is inspired by the majestic figures of our world and a setting that included seasonal imagery.

This season, we also got into a very exclusive environment where all fashion enthusiasts will get to witness the collection up close and personal.” With the AW’12 blockbuster trends already at the top of every fashionistas shopping list, ranging from retro mix of the 19th century to tapestry and heritage classics and all the way to military alongside some Eastern futurism, the trends were given a spin providing chic and elegant fashion. Glossy satins, lace, sumptuous knits, fur, exotic skins, feathers and embellishments and sequins are back into the wardrobe with black in plentiful with an offbeat mix of electric blackberry, bitter chocolate, aubergines and plum brown darks being the predominant colors. The silhouettes are all about sharp tailoring, peplums, throw-on or slouchy jacket shapes, while glamorous evening wear was decorated with luxurious lace and embroidered with touches of gold. Pea coats and capes teamed with pencil or long pleat skirts, pocketed sweatshirts with skinny pants and jumpsuits remain an integral part of the collection while beautifully brocaded kimono jackets, elaborate obi belts, cheongsam-style dresses in rising-sun red color are a hit.

The entire collection is teamed with accessories to covet with and makes each ensemble stand out.
