Pre-Fall 2012 Recap.

Thakoon | Jenni Kayne | Lanvin | Chloe

Alexander Wang | No. 21 | Valentino

Louis Vuitton | 3.1 Phillip Lim | Prabal Gurung

Missoni | Reed Krakoff | Alexander McQueen

Pre-fall has come and gone, just like that with the couture shows last week stealing all their thunder. But don't dismiss this in-between season as mere psuedo-collections from our favorite designers! There were some amazingly concocted gems (quite a few as you can see above) that I documented here on The-Margaret-Files; so show them a little love, too and take another looksy for yourself. Want to know my absolute favorite? Click to keep reading! File as perfection...

Reed Krakoff Pre-Fall 2012.

Also known as the executive creative director at the popular brand Coach, Mr. Reed Krakoff's eponymous line is a far cry from the rather uninspired bags that hang from the shoulders of women worldwide. Although his artistry may be stifled at Coach, he more than makes up for it with the his Krakoff presentations. This pre-fall collection is another one that I just can't get enough of- those perfect fitting wide-leg trousers, lots of leather (never enough) and the accessory of the season, the high black leather glove. Now if only those items could translate to the Coach brand, albeit at a fraction of the price. File as fingers crossed.

Best of NYFW Spring 2012.

Fashion week for me is the ultimate in sensory overload, and this season there was no shortage of wattage radiating from the runways. Whether it was sports-heavy collections like Alexander Wang, Victoria Beckham or Altuzarra; all out glam at Oscar de la Renta, Derek Lam and Marchesa or subversive simplicity at Calvin Klein, Prabal Gurung or Yigal Azrouel; these designers showcased some out of control looks that I am going to be dying to recreate come spring time. Above you can check out my top fifteen looks of the season; neatly arranged into three categories. If I had to pick an ultimate favorite? Hmm...keep reading after the jump to see which is my #1 as well as a complete breakdown of each look! File as spring forward.
