I am sorry it has been so long between posts, I have been battling an almighty virus/flu for the last 2 weeks (as has Lil Brigs', which only seems to drain my already drained body further). I can't believe that in the meantime, the Pre-Fall collections are upon us already! Although I agree with Dries Van Noten, that fashion needn't be a 'revolving door' with 4 collections a year, I found that there are already some gorgeous looks for this 'season':
Chanel
Taking inspiration from India (despite never having visited the country), Karl's Pre-Fall collection for Chanel sported some gorgeous draped sari-inspired skirts and heavy embellishments:
Zac Posen
As a big fan of Zac Posen for years, I lost slight interest in his designs of late, but his latest collection seemed to go back to his earlier days somewhat. My favourite pieces were the simple white wool crepe sheath with anatomical seaming designed to diminish your waist, and those that featured his obsession with chinoiserie and the idea of creating European couture shapes out of Eastern fabrics:
Oscar de la Renta
Tons of glamour with a dash of casual elegance thrown here and there:
