The Latest Covetable Looks From Pre-Fall 2012 - Alexander McQueen, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, and More

Marisa Tom — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:35:45 PST

Retro throwbacks, tailored perfection, and soft feminine references - pre-Fall '12 is a beautiful blend of structured shapes and unexpected girlie details. Lanvin delivered deliberately unfinished embellishments like exposed dart seams and raw edges, while Givenchy revived its "greatest hits" prints (think tropics and rottweiler motifs), and Sarah Burton traveled back in time to the '60s English countryside to whip up a cool equestrian-inspired McQ collection. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We're obsessed with Carven's nod to mod silhouettes, Derek Lam's focus on detachable mink collars, and Versace's Studio 54 vibe, too. It's a pre-season worth poring over, so get to it. Click through to see even more inspired looks and gorgeous accessories from Pre-Fall 2012.

How Diane von Furstenberg Created Her New Fragrance

BellaSugar — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 10:51:45 PST

Diane von Furstenberg has always seemed like the kind of woman who'd love orchids or lilies, but as she reveals here, her favorite flower is actually frangipani (aka plumeria), and its light, clean scent is the centerpiece of her new scent, Diane. This video is a cool view if you've ever been curious about how designers come up with a new scent. And as an added bonus, you get to see Diane go out in the woods (wearing jeans, no less!) to talk about the other main flower in her scent, violet.

It's always been clear that Diane is passionate about fashion, but judging from this video, she's also a secret fragrance fanatic. It's fascinating to see someone who's such a fashion institution speak so enthusiastically about a subject as relatively quotidian as violets in moss and plumeria trees. Who knew DvF had a soft spot for quirky flowers?
