I agree with softgrey and adorefaith. HQs are like the icing on the cake, to choose which you want to peruse closely after getting a feel for the whole collection with the usual style.com/catwalking/firstview sized pics. That's my favorite thing about the individual fashion threads. Even worse is posting the style.com sized pictures as thumbnails, as has been done recently... it's so incredibly tedious to click on them one by one. I might as well just go to style.com.

thanks for your input...BUT...
we are going to follow the guidelines that have been established after YEARS of trying different ways...

*those little images disappear from getty after some time and then our threads are left BARE with NO PICS starting them off...
not very good for the overall picture...
we know what we are doing here ---


*thanks for your cooperation...

preen has been moving slightly further away from its roots for a while now.....becoming much more body concious but they did keep some of their integrity - interesting staps and a desire to innovate...but this is just so disappointinly ordinary. stella maccartney indeed.

yep, old preen was better, but that's not to say it's entirely bad, some of the dresses are really good actually...

I understand this is not the same old Preen we all knew and loved.
This is less experimental but still on target in many ways:
Looser fits, lightweight kite silks and pale sunbleached tints. Did I mention L.A.?
Obviously the overly constructed, restricted shapes didn't do that well or they'd still be expounding on that idea. Just my opinion.

i like most of the separates, but really dislike the dresses at the end, they dont work at all for me.

I like this collection. The first one Freja wore was my favorite piece.
