Description: The girl with the crown.

I am happy to announce that Dioguardi is back this season. After "The Last Manifesto", the last and only Dioguardi collection created by Manolo (Manolo.DiCicco), it is time to introduce a new era; this season, colors like red, black, white, gold or nude take over the runway. The whole collection is inspired by royal highness, as well as iconic characters such as Cruella De Vil (Fur, animal prints, hairstyling…). There are plenty of graceful yet sexy dresses, especially considering Dioguardi's previous collections. I have tried to keep the original essence of the brand, adding my personal touch and my ideas.

The Last Manifesto: Diogaurdi Couture

Last Sunday Dioguardi released their final collection over at the popular blog Underneath Stardoll, where a massive party was held in celebration of the release. The party itself was an odd one so to say, with a mix of old members who really knew the collection and new members who were commenting that there were already enough stores on Stardoll.
The line itself, which you can view here, is a very simplistic and beautifully coloured collection adorned with gorgeous lace and girly bow pumps. The models all looked extremely pretty with flawless makeup themed to the specific outfit. The clothes themselves were reasonably mediocre and even at first impressions you could see the immense use of the dodge tool used on the clothing.

Compared to the previous Summer 2011 show the collection was a downfall but overall Dioguardi has always been known for it's beautiful and elegant designs, and this final collection was a great addition and finale to the Dioguardi empire.

What are your thoughts on the collection?
