Pre-season Hotness!

Pre-Fall creates joy. So many designers are having fun with their collections. Erdem even threw jumpuits and seventies inspired trews in to his usually dress dominated collections. Beautiful outerwear could be a focus for AW12 if pre-fall is to be believed, Celine and Stella McCartney were...well stellar. The Olsen twins outdid themselves with minimalist siloheuttes and lots of black leather, just the way I like it. Here are the looks i'm lusting.

The Row, forever cool.

Stella McCartney does a real a mannish coat.

Layering and clashing colours and some sick boots. I heart Proenza Schouler

Erdem goes edgy

Trenched out at Celine

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of...

Ok, Ok New York fashion week has been and gone. So many strong collections and I guess some disappointments. My observations? Overall I'd say that the biggest trend has got to be the return of the suit and a hell of a lot of fur (did you see Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs?) Peta are gonna have a field day. Anyway here are my top moments!

4 Fab New York fashion week triumphs:

1. Devi Kroell doing what she does best...Accessories. Surely the gilded knee length sandal boots she showed were made for a biker version of Venus. Hot.

2. Mary-Kate and Ashley joined Victoria Beckham in New York as the next celebrity designers to prove they could actually be well...designers. The long sleeved leather tees were a sartorial triumph.

3. Alexander Wang did a kind of grunge version of Clueless with his shrunken risque suits, backpacks and thigh high leg warmers. Cathy Horyn wasn't too complimentary, in the legendary words of Christian: I dug it.

4. Michael Kors returned to his original aesthetic of undiluted luxury, it reminded me of why I fell in love with fashion in the first place. Now, how can I get this coat?
