Erdem Fall 2012

I LOVE Erdem's unique take on fall: it's is a mostly flowery fall! Sadly, designers usually reserve florals for spring or summer. The solution?... Erdem's florals are just fall-ized with heavy fabrics, cold-weather colors, and lots of textural details. LoveloveLOVE it!

Lena Hoschek, Fall/ Winter 2012

It's yet another great collection by Lena Hoschek! I especially love that heart print dress, and the polka dotsy coat. I also love the old school Parisian feel... Just look at all the berets... Lena went beret-bananas! I think she put a beret on every single model except for the very last wedding finale look.
