I really like that last section in post #5 - very cool downtown knits /cuts / styles. And navy! Navy has been largely neglected in the collections thus far; nice to see some.
 
I don't really love anything in posts #1 and 2, but the rest is so good. Especially the outfit on Abbey Lee in post #4 (the 3rd picture) is just gorgeous :heart:
 
This collection has the most diabolical pants I've ever seen. So frumpy.
 
Having a necessarily editorial eye, I tend to overlook 'wearable' day/workwear. For something in the category to rest my attention it has to be very good. This is very good.

All the looks bar none are really well balanced. And the collection flows across several themes seamlessly.

Those first 3 looks adopt Preen's neo-geo disintegrating geometries. But not plunder for plunder's sake - there's a statement of intent there - the dissolution of the argyle, a metaphor for brand repositioning. I think the brand can take it.

I liked the prim sweetness of the middle 'secretary' looks which managed to feel bookishly sexy in very subtle ways.

Migrating to edgier proposals didn't feel too much and the sportsy, 60's inspired, future minimalism which closed didn't feel to be trying too hard or overwrought. Just smart, sexy in a controlled way, and utterly modern.

I want to work in an office full of Pringle girls.
 
I was honestly hoping to hate and loathe this collection ... i really loved whats-her-face's take on the label and how much she appreciated and worked with the legacy ..

This is Pringle Redux, and it works. Very very modern, using the usual materials .. much edgier and but without sacrificing comfort. Im a fan.
