Alice + Olivia’s Pre-Fall 2013 Collection is vivid flashback to ’60s Britain, with the use of plaid, lace, leather, and red and black color motifs giving off an edgy, rebellious style that was characteristic of the period. However, designer Stacey Bendet added a modern twist to the collection with abstract patterns, flattering cuts, playful dresses and elegant gowns. Paired with knee high, heeled black boots – these looks are a contemporary must-have for fall.

Bottega Veneta’s Pre-Fall collection can be considered the perfect transitional wardrobe; with light fabrics and double-faced wool and cashmere, the clothes evolve seamlessly from summer to fall. Pale pinks and lighthearted prints reflect summer while greys, blacks, and leather signify autumn. Structured dresses and pant suits with over-sized wool coats give a contemporary, professional look while the signature woven bags, belts and large cuff bracelets complete the aesthetic.
