Pre-Falling

New Pre-Fall collections are coming out daily, and I could not help myself but to stay awake late and look at all of the collections that are currently on style.com. My personal favorite designers such as Proenza Schouler and 3.1 Phillip Lim have already unveiled their pre-fall designs, and leave it for Fall Fashion Week for more of my favorite to show their collections.

Furs, patterns, and dark colors are just some of the characteristics that I have noticed in the 2011 pre-fall collections, traits which seem strangely familiar from 2010's fall trends. While the usual fur vest is still a popular design, I noticed that other articles of clothing were designed with furs, such as scarves and boleros. Pants and long skirts have been a major part of many designers' 2011 Pre-Fall Collections. Here are a few of my favorite looks from various designers who have revealed glimpses into their Fall 2011 collections. (All pictures from Style.com)

From Alber Elbaz's dangerously chi-flowy dresses photographed with wild animals such as panthers, polar bears, and other feline creatures, to Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough's beautiful patterned fabrics, Pre-Fall collections have been far from disappointing!

May I just reiterate the ambitiousness of Alber Elbaz to have his models model with wild animals? The prize for most creative photos definitely goes to Lanvin!

I love the colors that DVF used, the combination of aqua, green, and yellow are exquisite, although it does look more like a spring palette!
