“On Thursday we previewed Alexander Wang’s Pre-Fall collection. Alex walked us through the lineup, and this gray sweatsuit with silk pants was one of my favorite looks.”

2

“We keep seeing flat, tough-looking boots paired with softer silhouettes—the return of grunge? The trend started last spring at Dries van Noten and is looking like it will stay strong through Fall 2013.”

3

“This Chanel collar made of feathers and lace is part of the Art et Métiers collection Karl Lagerfeld showed in Scotland—a couture piece!”

4

“Coach and St. James are up to something nautical.”

5

“Model Hanne Gaby Odiele is perfect in this look from Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall.”

6

“The Louis Vuitton ICONS collection is made up of iconic ready-to-wear wear pieces reinterpreted for the current season’s trends—basically a complete wardrobe.”

7

“Pierre Hardy is a master at geometrics!”

8

“I am a big advocate of the flat ankle boot. It is one of those accessories every woman should own—and wear.”

9

“I love this entire Pucci look on model Anais Pouliot—especially the pink jacket!”

10

“At Pucci, old-world glamour gets a modern spin thanks to Peter Dundas.”

11

“It’s always interesting to see what the buyers like, especially someone like Beth Buccini of Kirna Zabete. She’s a style icon, and this Stella McCartney coat is great on her.”

12

“Stella McCartney can make a printed knit and a pair of jeans look so special that you want to live in them—or at least I do.”

13

“I am really into the short structured blazer for fall. Case in point: this bright red brocade jacket by Stella McCartney.”
