Prada Creates Trippy, Digital Dystopia in Latest Film

For the newest installment of its Real Fantasies video lookbook series, Prada casts its Fall 2012 collection in the neon glow of a distant future that takes its design cues from the past.

by Justin Fenner

For the newest installment of its Real Fantasies video lookbook series, Prada casts its Fall 2012 collection in the neon glow of a distant future that takes its design cues from the past. Models — cast as "genetically perfected clones" — stalk around environments created by layering images and videos on top of each other, while ominous music plays in the background. One male model is seen wringing his hands while sitting on top of the world; later on, a woman pulls a wad of cash out of her purse and hands it to another woman in front of an ornate staircase. It's strange, yes, and thought-provoking, too.

In the Mood For Holiday: Club Monaco's Late Fall 2012 Lookbook

Come October, the Club Monaco girl will be trading in the California breeziness of September with something a bit richer: heavy knits, Highlands-inspired plaids, and a nice helping of cashmere.

by Christina Perez

Come October, the Club Monaco girl will be trading in the California breeziness of September with something a bit richer: heavy knits, Highlands-inspired plaids, and a nice helping of cashmere. The brand is calling it "Scottish luxury," but with its bevy of wallpaper prints (some of which evoke iconic UK wallpaper-maker William Morris), brocade patterns, and '20s-tinged embellishments, we're guessing you'll call it exactly what you want to wear this Fall. See the entire collection here.

London Darling: Topshop Plays to British Punk and Polish For Fall '12

With a mix of punky plaids, tweedy separates, and prim pointed-toe flats, we like to think of Topshop's Fall collection as a hybrid of cool-girl stylings from Britain's fashion darlings.

by Hannah Weil

With a mix of punky plaids, tweedy separates, and prim pointed-toe flats, we like to think of Topshop's Fall collection as a hybrid of cool-girl stylings from Britain's fashion darlings. We could see both Alexa Chung's boy-meets-girl street style and Poppy Delevigne's effortless-chic in the trench coats, leather skirts, loafers, and tweed crop tops from Topshop's Autumn lineup. Right down to the boxy handheld satchels, quilted leather, and red-plaid skinnies, the brand balances British prep-school punk with a more sophisticated, ladylike spin. In short, it's perfect for playing the part of any of London's trendsetters (no accent required). Read on for our editors' favorites, then click through to see it all.

This quilted leather mini was made for nailing that punky-rock feel. We'll pair it with our favorite band tee, a statement necklace, and loafers to drive it home.
From the trench to the cap-toe flats, this look is the perfect balance between edgy and sophisticated. Just switch out the crop top to take it to work.
This gold sheath would be easy to dress up for cocktail hour or down for the workplace, layered up with a collared button-down underneath.

ASOS Releases Its Luxuriously Cool Fall Lookbook

It's hard to even imagine wearing a wool sweater right now, but it doesn't hurt to start planning for the cooler months ahead with ASOS's newly debuted Fall '12 lookbook.

by Chi Diem Chau

It's hard to even imagine wearing a wool sweater right now, but it doesn't hurt to start planning for the cooler months ahead with ASOS's newly debuted Fall '12 lookbook. Jumping on all of Fall's top trends, the brand showcased patent leather tops, peplum details, and cozy knits we can't wait to snuggle into once the temperature drops. Furthermore, outerwear ranged from sporty bomber jackets to luxe fur embellished wool coats, while accessories focused on chunky soled boots and statement jewels. See our top looks below then get in on all of the action now.

We'd layer this cozy aubergine knit sweater over a moody floral dress in the Fall, and when it gets colder, pair with wide-leg wool trousers and boots.
We love this sporty leather look — who'd ever thought a baseball cap can look so sleek?
You can't go wrong with a fur collared navy wool coat. The two-tone satin and wool combination is equal parts cozy and chic.

First Look! Zara Masters the Art of Boy-Meets-Girl Dressing For May

With both cool-girl appeal and the prettiest white lace and crochet, Zara's May collection might best be characterized as an exercise in perfect boy-meets-girl dressing.

by Hannah Weil

With both cool-girl appeal and the prettiest white lace and crochet, Zara's May collection might best be characterized as an exercise in perfect boy-meets-girl dressing. The retailer artfully delivers the best of both worlds: the most feminine and sophisticated kind of separates, like a little lace waistcoat or a ladies-who-lunch tweed jacket, then a slouchy pair of tomboy-fit studded jeans and a menswear-style striped button-down. Zara's Woman collection offers up polished floral prints and silky tropical button-downs, while the TRF line veers into more casual territory with open-weave knits, distressed boyfriend jeans, and tribal-embellished tanks and t-shirts. Read on for our favorite pieces and styling tips, then click through to get a glimpse of every look.

If you're looking to get in on the jumpsuit trend, we love the effortless vibe of this version — perfect for dressing up and down all Summer.
This open-weave knit would be an ideal piece to layer up on a beachy vacation or throw on with your favorite Summer cutoffs.
