Gucci designer Frida Giannini described her spring 2012 collection as
“hard deco,” and a deco-glam look definitely took over the runway with

Under the sea opulence was a running theme in Versace’s Spring 2012
collection. Pastel starfish and sea lion prints covered dresses and
separates, while jewelled starfish embellished mermaid-worthy evening
looks. Gold zips and studs gave the soft colour palette an edge,
decorating everything from bra tops to bags and bracelets.
