A-list, world-renowned designer Alberta Ferretti must have set out to impress with the Philosophy Pre-Fall 2012 collection, because the line, on the one hand, is an incredible fusion of youthful prints in sophisticated, elegant silhouettes. On the other hand, often youthful silhouettes make an appearance in ladylike fabrics and patterns. The designer executes both looks flawlessly.
For instance, floral applique and animal prints appear on chic pencil skirts and conservative cardigans, whereas flirty shirt-dresses are designed in neutral colors and minimalist patterns.
The Philosophy Pre-Fall 2012 collection is predominantly made up of camel, beige, and brown hues, with a few pops of teal making an occasional appearance to spice things up. Slicked-back hair and basic mary-jane pumps finish off the sophisticated look of the collection.
