Fall 2011 Collections That You'd Want To Wear: Part II

In our second installment of crave-worthy collections that would make you want to sell a major body organ (or if possible, two) come fall, are three designers that take casual dressing to the next level. Their collections are multi-dimensional while remaining unfussy, perfect for the effortlessly stylish girl.

Band of Outsiders (pictured above) – This season, Scott Sternberg transported his models to seventies California, “land of stoner princesses and hippie communes.” He managed to create clothes that are loose and carefree, while infusing his signature preppy aesthetic. Picture that girl who played hacky-sack in the quad every lunch in high school now gone off to an Ivy League; she may have a stack of books in her arms, but that doesn’t mean she’s forgotten how to take it easy.

Kimberly Ovitz – Everything here seems pretty classic and minimal at first, but upon closer look you can see the architectural influences that make this so much more interesting than a rack of basics at your local American Apparel store. The mute color palette is jolted with crisp shocks of electric blue and neon yellow, and there is experimentation with knitting, webbing and embroidery. Overall, the collection has a very futuristic look, which is certainly more promising than Jane Jetson’s wardrobe.




Y-3 – Yohji Yamamoto wanted to catch the spirit of traveling all over the world by foot, and this Adidas line definitely looks more travel wear than sportswear. The outerwear pieces stand out, which seem like they really are meant to protect your body. The skirts and dresses that come short and long also give off a warrior-like feel. If this collection doesn’t convince you to go out in nature and brave whatever it throws your way, it will at least make going out in the cold easier if only to be seen in Yamamoto’s creations.
