Vera Wang Pre-Fall 2009

[Spike413]

NEW YORK, December 10, 2008

By Nicole Phelps

The boyish sophistication of Coco Chanel was Vera Wang's starting point for pre-fall, but the collection was pure Vera: bejeweled T-shirts, peplum tanks, and weightless, tulle-lined sweaters, paired with stretch pants worn long or cropped halfway between the knee and the ankle. She threw in the occasional poufy skirt, and wide stretch obis accessorized some of the looks. For evening, the silhouette wasn't quite as narrow as for day. A ruby silk cocktail dress was draped and tucked at the neckline and fell loosely to the knee. As always, everything came accented with strass and pearls.

gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. For me, Vera is one of the best (and most underrated designers) in NYC right now. I love the mix of textures, the bold single stripe and the layers of black.

Completely agree! This is a great pre-fall collection, very promising in terms of the actual F/W collection.

Very chic. Clothes for real women.

But I'm tired of seeing the same old collection all over and over again.

It's beautiful, I love the entire collection! Very soft and feminine

 

[crepebacksatin]

love the champagne skirt in post #1 pic 3, such a great way to soften lots of matte black but still keep it edgy

lots of great pieces here - the necklaces are great - she's been doing the best jewelry

looks like the past 6 collections she has put out. Same ol' same ol'.

That said it does look beautiful, and pretty. Very desirable.
