T by Alexander Wang continues to wow us by doing what Wang does best: gauzy, over sized and uncomplicated knitwear, effortless maxis, and basics that are none other but manageable. Simple never looked so good. For Fall 2012, T by Alexander Wang introduced full-length leather pants (at $995, they’re a bit pricier than the rest of the line) alongside more feminine pleated skirts and cropped knit tops. The neoprene dresses are anything but submissive, yet parallel the rest of the mainly black, grey, teal and ruby collection rather nicely.
Fendi
Fendi’s Fall 2012 collection of contrasts is nearly indescribable. Who knew nature and artificiality could compliment each other so well? The usage of furs and skins against streamlined skirts demanded attention, and we were equally as intrigued by the crown of warrior-like braids. Coats prevailed as the must-have item in the collection, however handbags came in at a close second place.
The collection was both dark and fresh, introducing subtle color blocking with burgundy and emerald. Those snake-like leggings were reminiscent of Avatar, and when paired with lace-up and furry boots, they were super sexy. With so much going on, it’s clear that Fendi is looking forward to the future of fashion.

Gucci
There’s definitely omething Dracula-esque about Gucci’s Fall 2012 line; Frida Giannini contrived an esoteric feel with deep, opaque velvets contrasted against skin-showing slits and sheer gauzy blouses. The slouchy pants are the true standout piece lavishing a strong menswear mood. Nonetheless, Giannini knows how to formulate strong feminine dresses and skirts in somber velvets, luscious plums, and vivid greens. She didn’t dispense of color heavily, but subtly invoked a nocturnal theme with capes, military jackets and riding boots. The final looks left us yearning for more of that divine leopard jacquard. Magnificenza segreto!

Spikes, studs, and pyramid 3-D shapes on jewelry and accessories are still quite popular hardware options, so why not indulge in the trend for under $3? The Triple Spike Ring, $2.80, is a great option to wear by itself or layered with some stackable rings. The style seems to derive inspiration Pamela Love, a jewelry design that we looove!
