The Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2012 Collection is Fiercely Feminine

— December 8, 2011 — Fashion
While Pre-Fall collections are certainly not as extravagant and memorable as Fall or Spring runway shows, the Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2012 collection proves that glamor does not have to take the backseat in a Pre-Fall show.

The full tulle skirts that Mr. de la Renta is famous for continue to make an appearance on the runway today. Lace is, as always, a recurring theme in the show, and I couldn't be more happy about it.

While most designers take a seemingly laid-back approach to Pre-Fall shows, it's nice to see that the Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2012 collection still features some show-stopping, red carpet-worthy dresses that will hopefully make an appearance at awards season this winter.
Trend Themes
1. Feminine Fashion - Opportunity for brands to create whimsical and romantic clothing pieces for women to stand out in a saturated fashion industry.
2. Luxury Pre-fall Collections - High-end fashion brands can disrupt the industry and generate buzz by releasing extravagant pre-fall collections to capture audience attention before the main fashion season.
3. Revival of Classic Styles - The resurgence of classic styles, such as tulle skirts and lace, creates a space for brands to tap into nostalgia and offer modern takes on timeless trends.
Industry Implications
1. High Fashion - Luxury fashion brands can benefit from designing pre-fall collections with high-end fabrics and extravagant styles to attract clientele and dominate the market.
2. Textile Manufacturing - Opportunity for textile manufacturers to produce premium and luxurious fabrics for high-end pre-fall collections in order to showcase their skills and stand out in the market.
3. Retail - Retailers can tap into the current demand for feminine and classic styles by featuring whimsical and nostalgic pieces in their stores to offer customers a unique shopping experience.
