Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2012: A Work Of Art

I think it’s obvious by now I live by the 3 Ps: Prabal, Proenza…and pizza. So we’re going to break it down one P at a time and focus on Prabal right now, specifically Prabal’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection…which by the way is a work of art.

From structured separates to feminine dresses, this collection is versatile not only in the silhouettes but in the prints and colors as well. Although some may fear a print, the ones seen here in Prabal’s Pre-Fall ’12 collection are easy to fall in love with. According to Style.com, Prabal was influenced by India for this collection and not the “obvious India,” but more of the “muddy India” that most don’t think about. Who knew that this insanely gorgeous collection would ever be influenced by a muddy country?

From the impeccably constructed clothes, to the perfect styling, and everything in between…this was a [yet another] WIN for Prabal Gurung (even though I’m still obsessing over Spring ’12) and I cannot wait to see what he has in store for us next month at fashion week. And although it was nearly impossible to decide, here are my favorite looks from Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2012.

And on a side note…if anyone knows when/where/if these sunglasses and shoes will be available? Please notify me immediately. Thank you 🙂

Although I despise most pictures of myself, I don’t mind them as much if I’m not looking at the camera…and with Amy’s amazing photography skills, I can never hate her photos. Plus, she’s been killing it with the candids lately! Click here to view the full post.

Current Obsession: Proenza Schouler Macramé Skirt

Happy Friday all! Today I wanted a short and sweet post…one dedicated to my current obsession,  the Proenza Schouler Macramé Skirt from their Fall 2011 collection.

As seen on Anna Dello Russo during “fashion month,” it’s truly a piece of art and a really great addition to your wardrobe…or my wardrobe 🙂

Now if I just had $8,865 to spare…
