While New York Fashion Week may have just kicked off, you can be assured that the Michael Angel Fall 2012 collection is unlike anything else you will see for the remainder of the week.
Full of whimsical, space-like graphic prints, the pieces really hone in on Angel's forte, which is and has always been, patterns. While the clothing might be intricate and quite fascinating to just stare at, outerwear remains simple and discrete. Blazers and capes are gray and streamlined, with the exception of some chunky, oversize wool coats.
Overall, the Michael Angel Fall 2012 collection is a beautiful juxtaposition of detailed, dreamy prints and structured, easy-to-wear outerwear. The common theme in the line is, thankfully, an edgy darkness that is characteristic of Angel's pieces.
