Perfect Pre-Fall

Balenciaga Pre-Fall, WWD

Proenza Schouler Pre-Fall, WWD

Celine Pre-Fall, WWD

Major designers and design houses have been releasing Pre-Fall this week and it hasn't disappointed. Balenciaga, Proenza Schouler, and Celine were all shown in WWD this morning and based on this I can't wait for the Fall Collections.

Balenciaga had a definite sporty appeal, incorporating technical fabrics and prints in a range of styles. Proenza Schouler's collection was inspired by "The Catcher in the Rye" which was delivered with an updated version of traditional preppy. And Celine's Phoebe Philo updated her urban chic look with a dose of playfulness.

Resort, Take 10

Another Monday, another resort collection. Actually images of both Lanvin and Balenciaga became available today, so no complaining from me.

Balenciaga had a little bit of everything, from prim and proper to sleek. The shoes were mainly of the peep toe bootie sort and they even had a look in which the bag matched the material of the clothing. It will definitely be interesting to see if this is an idea that carries over to Spring/Summer 2010.

Over at Lanvin Alber Elbaz's girl threw on a little bit of everything from her travels around the world. I'm in love with the floral flat sandals and the layers of jewelry. Lanvin is consistently one of the go to collections and his resort didn't disappoint.
