To Market: Pre-Fall 2013

Fashion Market and Accessories Director Karla Martinez snaps her favorite moments as the pre-fall collections go into full swing. Highlights from her appointments yesterday include Celine’s new platform shoe, head-to-toe bubblegum pink at Rochas, rock crystal jewels at Chloe and more from Givenchy, Lanvin, and Sonia Rykiel.
1
“I always look forward to seeing the new prints at Celine. Like this three-pattern combination, they are always so wonderfully unexpected.”
2
“Leave it to Celine to make a white nurse shoelook chic.”
3
“Done in an eggshell color, this Chloe leatherbomber is a dream.”
4
“All the W girls loved the personal jewelry at Chloe.”
5
“Givenchy outerwear is so spot-on. Every time.”
6
“This picture is a bit dark, but there was such a great moody Parisian night feeling to the Lanvin collection.”
7
“I just love Nina Ricci–this pink suit is so ladylike and French.”
8
“Marco [Zanini] always finds the best shades and textures for his clothes. This full-on pink look at Rochas is entirely wearable.”
9
“I’m counting this Rochas piece as a personal must-have: brocade is one of my favorite fabrics, and the structure of this jacket is perfect for my shape.”
10
“We are always looking for over-size knits for Edward at W. This one from Sonia Rykiel will definitely be a main contender for upcoming Pre-Fall stories.”
