Smoky-Hued Layered Ensembles

The Vera Wang Pre-Fall 2012 Collection is Edgy and Chic

— December 16, 2011 — Fashion
Don’t let the appearance of adorable knee-high schoolgirl socks fool you, the Vera Wang Pre-Fall 2012 collection is tough and edgy. The collection was influenced by the late 1960s.

When there are super-short micro minis (which are a common recurrence in Ms. Wang’s Pre-Fall presentation), they are balanced out by lots of layers on top and over-the-knee socks.

Arms were covered with glamorous, edgy above-the-elbow gloves in black leather to balance out the sweetness of the short skirts. However, when it comes to evening wear, the Vera Wang Pre-Fall 2012 collection is classic Vera: feminine, bold and red carpet-worthy.

“Their bold colors and stretchy silk charmeuse fabrics should serve Wang well with awards season around the corner,” explains Style.com. Check out the Vera Wang Pre-Fall 2012 collection for a preview of what might appear on the red carpets this awards season.
Trend Themes
1. Edgy Layering - There is an opportunity to create unique layering pieces that are both tough and edgy.
2. Glam Rock - Designers can incorporate black leather or satin gloves into their collections to add a touch of glamour to any outfit.
3. Short on Bottom, Long on Top - Creating balance in outfits by pairing short skirts with lots of layers on top is a trend that is easy to incorporate into any collection.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Designers can take inspiration from the mix of glamour and edginess in the Vera Wang pre-fall collection to create their own unique designs.
2. Accessories - There is an opportunity for accessory designers to create gloves that balance the sweetness of short skirts with edgy materials like black leather.
3. Red Carpet Fashion - The bold colors and stretchy silk charmeuse fabrics seen in the Vera Wang pre-fall collection could be a great fit for awards season fashion.
