amidst my recent stint at fashion week to preview fall collections, and all of the new spring pieces just arriving in stores, i feel like i’ve seen so many beautiful collections that i can hardly keep up! but while i may be scrambling to see them all, i still think it’s important to pause and appreciate them, too! so today i’d like to share the samantha pleet fall 2012 collection. as you can tell by their golden halos, this collection was inspired by the work of pre-raphaelite painters.
“the house-designed prints are ominous and brilliant, and the palette has a jewel-like transparency that carries the collection from light to dark.”
i love the way she played with cut-outs and high contrast elements balanced out with luxurious fabrics for a dramatic and romantic effect. all the while keeping the collection absolutely wearable for every day.
