STELLA McCARTNEY PRE-FALL 2012 PUZZLER

In my opinion, Stella McCartney's Pre-Fall 2012 collection embodies everything that makes her such a genius. Impeccably crafted garments and flawless tailoring aren't the only things that never fail to impress me - it's the twist she puts on them. It's the, "What the hell was she thinking?" factor that I love and the tingly feeling I get when I realize that I have never before imagined myself wearing a suit with random crests all over it until she made it look so cool. Let's face it, fashion would be pretty damn monotonous without people like Stella putting stuff like this on the runway. Now that I've finished my rant about how awesome she is, let's discuss this sweet little concoction. I tried narrowing down all of the looks to the ones that I thought were the most interesting and ended up with 20 pictures so you can obviously tell I had some trouble pinpointing which were the most dicussion-worthy. My favorite pieces are those featuring a super-cozy buffalo plaid, but I do appreciate the fact that now (according to Stella) we can apparently don sweatpants or printed suits that would seem like every private school student's nightmare on a more formal note. What do you guys think of this collection?

PRABAL GURUNG PRE-FALL 2012

Remember that time I obsessed over Prabal Gurung's Spring 2012 runway here? Then you can only imagine how flawless I consider his Pre-Fall 2012 Collection to be. He incorporated a lot of the Spring elements but this time toned it down while still staying true to his signature innovative aesthetic. What makes me adore him even more is his love of the outrageously furry neck, similar to the one I sported here. Kaleidoscopic prints, metallic fabrics and buttoned up blouses combine to form one very cool collection.

LONDON FASHION WEEK: SASS AND BIDE POPS

Sass and Bide showed their Spring/Summer 2012 collection at London Fashion week and it included all things that I adore: quirky prints, interesting silhouettes, the perfect fusion of structured and slack pieces, and LOTS OF NEON! It was almost as though the designers made a list of everything they would ever want in one collection be it cohesive or not, and made it work completely. The maxi skirts... no words for how badly I want them in my closet. So many props to them.
