I really liked the mixtures of patterns and textures in this collection. I’m not much of a fur person, but the way it was used in these looks made me think otherwise. I especially love the looks with the pants…I need some of those!! This collection exudes a bohemian-esque feel to it yet still looking somewhat sophisticated and put together.

There were lots of great looks in this collection. I love the 70’s feel with the maxi dresses mixed among the very english feel of the outerwear; I also liked the use of earth tones!

Pantone has recently released their Fall 2011 Fashion Color Report which showcases a selection of designers and what colors they’ll be using for their fall collections.

I must say, I’m very delighted by the color palette. The colors seem to be brighter than last year and designers appear to be paying attention to texture, color, and contrast. There’s a very nice balance of bright, cool, and neutral tones being used. As much as I’m ready for warm weather to arrive this cheery color palette will keep me excited for fall.

These are a few sketches showcasing a preview of Prabal Gurung’s latest collection, which will be shown at Lincoln Center for Fashion Week Fall 2011 on Saturday of this week. 

This new collection is a collaboration between the designer and Swarovski and there will be many crystal-embellished dresses and tops. Looks romantic, I can’t wait to see the actual pieces!
