2012 If not the End of the World, what then?

Ahhh don't worry people , we are too busy for the world to end, at least so is this industry. No aliens, UFO's, Global Warming or any other world-ending calamity could stop these people of thinking at least 6 months in advance. 

 So what do we expect from 2012, what is more to come?

 2. The italian label teams up with H&M and will prepare an amazing collection, which will be available in store worldwide starting with the 8th of March 2012. 'Castiglioni is popular among cool fashion girls who like clothes that pop and have that touch of quirk—luxe boho, offbeat and a nod to arts and crafts.'http://www.forbes.com/sites/bluecarreon/2011/11/29/marni-for-hm-collaboration-for-spring-2012/

3. V&A's series of future exhibition this year will be once again more than intriguing :

 Ballgowns: British Glamour since 1950

 19 May 2012 - 6 January 2013

 4. Besides the amazing exhibitions that the V&A  Museum will host next year, they will also organize some really exciting Evening Talks with Angela and Margherita Missoni, Anna dello Russo, Henry Holland and Balenciaga (author Miren Arzalluz and V&A Senior Curator Lesley Miller will present the man behind the label, Cristóbal Balenciaga and the roots of his Parisian success). All of which I already have tickets for.  All events will take place at the end of January and throughout February 2012.

So we have plenty of reasons why we can't wait for 2012 to begin. And plenty of reasons to hope that the World will not end by then. And this is only the beginning.
