Donna Karan
The relaxed silhouette was everywhere for pre-fall, especially in louche, wide, flowy trousers.
Reed Krakof
…Had a lovely version too.
Balenciaga
Futuristic minimalism
Chanel
Just cape-like enough to sate my intense cape needs.
Statement-worthy cobalt.
Carolina Herrera
You see a lot of edgy brocade (Balmain recently, Balenciaga before that) but this version is feminine and elegant
Burberry
Love the rich hue and pattern of the pant.
Zac Posen
Posen had some great patterns too; this loud one is balanced by the immaculate, razor-sharp lines of the dress.
Erdem
Print wizard Erdem did more excellent things with lace
Fendi
Both of these Fendi looks were awesomely wearable, ladylike tweeds in flattering shapes.
Doo.Ri
Speaking of ladylike, Doo.Ri’s exercise in pale was both softly gorgeous and structured.
Vera Wang
Bad girl leather pants (and sleeves!); sleek but with great texture.
Thakoon
I love the color. I love the draping. I love the tough-pretty accessories, especially the shoes. I love the Blade Runner make-up.
