Pre-fall... already

I feel bad for designers.. before you know it, they'll have like 8 seasons to design for throughout the year. Resort and pre-fall, maybe not so necessary. Whatever, doesn't mean I don't get to talk about what I liked and didn't hehehe.. 




I was head over heels for Zac Posen's collection, which is weird because I usually have no interest in his collections whatsoever. But I'm a sucker for anything 1940s.. and not only did this collection evoke that time period, but it also does glamor in the right way. It's not too over-the-top; it's a mixture of simplicity and complication - the right amount of both. It's probably my favorite pre-fall collection so far.


I'm not usually a fan of Burberry either.. what's with me this season? But I loved the shapes of the pants on these girls. Clearly these pants would not do the same thing for my short legs, but they look cool on 6'+ people. The suits on the models are looking Japanese manga character-ish because they're always unrealistically tall and skinny and weirdly proportioned.. a tiny tiny bit of punk/goth feeling to the classic shapes and colors of this season. I'm also loving the pattern on the dress and coat; perfect for a New York fall, or, rather, pre-fall. 

More later,,
