Pre-fall is the in between season of summer and fall. These in between seasons gives designers a chance to actually create clothes that are affordable to more women. Usually, pre-fall collections are not presented in a grand way (like a runway type) unless it is Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. It is just usually a look book presented to the fashion press by designers. There are no specific time frame given to these designers as they can present their pre-fall collections as early as November and as late as January. It is very low key and very easy on the eyes.
Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2012
It is mostly a black and white collection and purely what he does best. Athleticism is still a little bit of an inspiration based on his spring 2012 collection. This may also be a little preview of what may come in his fall 2012 collection.
Florals at Erdem’s pre-fall collection. There is always a new way of re doing florals and Erdem knows how to do it. There were also a lot of turtle necks in this collection and I am loving it.
Karl Lagerfeld always does it right especially with this Paris-Bombai collection for Chanel’s pre-fall. Tweed jackets and skirts mixed with Nehru collars, sari evening gowns, beautiful Indian inspired jewelry, and really dark make up. He has never been to Bombai but he does not have to because he captured its essence and mixed it with Paris perfectly.
Prints and embroideries are the focus on Jason Wu’s pre fall collection. The cuts and the silhouettes are classic and there is nothing new to it but because of its details, it is a perfect combination.
This Helmut Lang pre fall collection is apparently inspired by spiderwebs. It works right? Tops, dresses and tunics that look like spiders spun them and made these beautiful clothes. If this will be the theme for the fall 2012 collection, then I cannot want to see it!
Thakoon Addition is the secondary line of Thakoon. It is more affordable than his high end line that is why this secondary line is created. Its pre fall collection is more fun and light with its mixed prints and mini dresses.
Honor Pre fall 2012 had a mix of frilly and girly dresses and classic and manly suits. Perfect mix!
