Pre Fall 2012: trend spotting

The pre fall collections are out and the 2012 autumn looks milky, pastel and soft from where I stand. A lot of designers embraced soft tones of blue and pink, pastel shades in beige and browns and there was a solid retro feel to a lot of looks. Now, retro- being my favorite, in terms of styling, I picked out a few designers and looks to share. Although, there are a lot more looks, that were bright and chirpy, I will share them at a different time, today (as I said before) lets look at the softer, milkier side!

 

Diane von furstenburg
- note the red gloves complimenting the soft blue dress, also note the fishnet leggings- possibly a mah-joor trend for pre fall 2012




Fendi
Loving the cigarette pants, again- note the softness in the colors.



Fendi
- loving the paisley eyelet detail in the shirt, also the softness of the colors perfectly compliment the strong image the outfit as a whole projects.

DVF
love how the rich red color sits softly on the pastel blue

Band of Outsiders
- note the colors again, also the ribbed hem of the trousers, love the fact how little details can make or break a look, so often.
