Alice Temperley Interview at 2011 Spring New York Fashion Week

Alice Temperley is that cool chick who looks great in whatever she throws together, speaks with a simultaneous air of humility and street-smarts, and, oh yeah, designs insanely covetable clothes for fabulous girls everywhere. Yesterday, she presented both her main line, Temperley London, and her lower-priced diffusion line, Alice by Temperley, at Milk Studios NYC. Instead of the usual model suspects, however, she chose to showcase her collections with mannequins propped on shards of broken glass. We had a chance to chat with the British designer before the presentation, and she shared with us her top five Fall essentials. Hint: she's wearing a few of them in this photo, snapped at the presentation.
