Pre-Fall 2013 Highlights



3.1 Phillip Lim

         For his pre-fall collection Phillip Lim drew inspiration from bikers, and biker girls. The inspiration comes through subtle though, through his use of leathers, phoenix embellished sweaters, and the boxy, more androgynous silhouettes that inject an overall 'tough girl' vibe into his looks. One thing that Lim stressed is that even if the Phillip Lim girl has a thing for the biker life, she never forgets her jewels. Jeweled necklines are seen throughout the collection, and the element I found most exciting and must recreate a.s.a.p.: jeweled turtlenecks.


Erdem

       For me, I don't think there will ever be a time that I tire of the Erdem floral print. Erdem Moralioglu is clearly the master of floral prints in fashion. While his collections do keep similar key notes season after season, this collection is not without experimentation. For this collection Erdem made use of some unexpected fabrics such as sheer organza, pvc, leather, and mesh. His lady-like prints in conjunction with these new materials keeps his collection looking fresh and modern.
  

Belstaff 

       Belstaff's Martin Cooper revived the brand in 2011, since then he has redefined British heritage with his well constructed collections. This collection stands out because of the distinct feminine and masculine touches as seen in the leather jackets, skirts and boots combined with the furs, silks and quilted coats. The theme can also be seen in the color palette of black, navy, and brown mixed with red and beige.


Proenza Schouler


      Proenza Schouler's Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez create a fantastic and truly beautiful Pre- Fall collection. The duo begin the show with a graphic print that is seen throughout the collection and continue to evolve the collection with checked patterns to the final looks done with a distinct metallic color and pattern. Proenza Schouler's collection is at its best because it offers essential wardrobe staples.
