The Jad Ghandour<\/a> Spring 2012 show in the tents at Lincoln Center took a cue from P.T. Barnum. Bolstering the designer’s \u201csafari\u201d theme, two baby Bengal tigers flanked either side of the mini-runway. \u201cIt’s a safari collection. It has a 60s feeling\u201d<\/strong> said the designer backstage before the show. Designing for the \u201cfemme fatale,\u201d silk satin, chiffon, and tulle were the ring-masters in the menagerie of looks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Flowing soft-gold, one-shouldered chiffon dresses were followed by more polished all white pantsuits.More structural looks included body-con dresses with deconstructed disco ball-mirrored shoulder pads and navy blue short-suiting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then there were the gowns, through which Ghandour is becoming increasingly popular (there was that $1.5 million Danasha Luxury gown in February). A red strapless, corseted bodice\/chiffon skirt number proved attention-worthy, as did a beaded blue and black bondage-inspired gown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A gilded high-waisted pantsuit with belted high-collared blazer, topped off with a pilot hat and fashionable insignia, was a runway show-stopper, holding audience members’ attention in full arrest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI do everything. The shoes, the accessories, the clothes, everything is produced back home in Beirut where I have my showroom and my atelier over there.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This marked the Lebanese designer’s sophomore showing at the tents, with a collection suggesting the fiercest safari west of the Serengeti.<\/p>\n
