The designer told Style.com that she was influenced by "strong, badass women doing what they loved in a time when that was difficult. It's my favorite era — the hair got shorter, clothes got looser, and people embraced a more masculine edge." That effortlessly sexy look with a bit of a masculine edge is definitely prevalent in the Rachel Roy Pre-Fall 2012 collection. Drop waist dresses, pleating, graphic prints, tweed suit separates and lots and lots of color make this a collection to remember.
