Oooh! I'm loving the new Spring Summer '12 collection by From Somewhere. A creative sustainable label producing collections from luxury designer fabric off-cuts. Their SS12 collection also includes some of the season's key trends.
There are sportswear influences, including satin trimmed shorts reminiscent of Balenciaga's Resort '12 collection. A hint of contemporary tribal - a key fashion statement for Summer. Bright colours - yellow, orange, pink set back against black. Luscious deep toffee brown. Tones of petrol blue. Colour blocking mixed with stripes and prints.

Of course, no Summer '12 collection would be complete without a nod towards to the Sixties, which continues to be a major influence. A simple shift dress has been created with panels of mixed textures, including a sky blue jacquard giving this 1960's classic a 2012 spin.

From Somewhere was established in 1997 by Orsola De Castro and Filippo Ricci. All womenswear collections are made by up-cycling high-end fashion and surplus textiles - fabric swatches, production off-cuts and end of rolls. The aim is to produce beautiful clothes that take into account the balance between consumpation and disposal.
