Tuleh

For pre-fall, Bryan Bradley was inspired by Naples' Palazzo Reale and its gardens. Winter flower prints decorated everything from dresses with matching cardigans to the silk lining of a standout fur. Embellishments notwithstanding, this was a grounded collection, with a focus on day looks like cashmere polo dresses with ribbon belts. Keeping in that practical vein, Bradley also announced he'll introduce an eponymous contemporary line with pieces starting at $300 during New York fashion week.—Marina Larroude (original story)

Splurge or Save?

Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani saves the dramatics for his Milan runway shows. The fancy pants he's known for—and that are now absolutely everywhere—were replaced for pre-fall by simple, narrow, or wide-leg options with jackets to mix and match in shades of gray and black, along with an equally restrain...

Missoni

Mining the house archives, Angela Missoni zeroed in on—what else?—knitwear, and there wasn't a simple twinset in the bunch. Instead, she whipped the signature flames and zigzags into crisscross dresses topping fine-gauge turtlenecks; matching sweaters and minis; and enough ponchos to out... (original story)

Diane von Furstenberg

Diane von Furstenberg took a something-for-everyone approach to pre-fall. With British bookworms and the urban jungle as her talking points, she showed tailored pieces in houndstooth and tweeds, along with wrap dresses, away-from-the-body shifts, and soft, slouchy cardigans in tiger, palm frond, and...

Naeem Khan

Naeem Khan said he drew pre-fall inspiration directly from his customers. "I looked at them and offered what I felt they needed, at every level," he explained. For the client still looking to splurge, there were ultra-luxe wool sweater dresses with jewel-encrusted necklines and a cocktail sheath dri... (original story)

Well and Good

Adrian Grenier and Jessica Stam hosted Monday night's Charity: Water ball at the Metropolitan Pavilion, but a certain amount of attention was siphoned off by some of their guests. MTV was there to film an episode of The Hills spin-off The City, trailing Whitney Port—in a ball gown—and Ol... (original story)

Versace

Donatella Versace mined her brother's couture archives for the star prints that decorated her pre-fall collection, but the silhouettes—graphic little coats with contrast piping and even tinier cocktail dresses—were all hers. Everything was strictly above the knee, save for a handful of n... (original story)

Monique Lhuillier

Monique Lhuillier is banking on the customer looking for that special purchase. The designer injected her evening gown-heavy pre-fall lineup with many of the elements—fan-pleat rosettes, crumb-catcher necklines, elaborate folds—that her successful bridal collection is known for. Standout... (original story)

Nicole Miller

Nicole Miller turned her gaze to the cosmos for a celestially inspired pre-fall collection in a palette of plum, mustard, and teal. Star-shaped paillettes embellished a printed shift dress, while a stretchy "scuba" jacket with architectural sleeves would fit in on the Enterprise. A series of dresses... (original story)

Rag & Bone

Don't call it a greatest-hits collection, but David Neville and Marcus Wainwright assembled their most-loved silhouettes for pre-fall. Among the versatile offerings were cropped silk pocket tees, military-inspired vests, and slouchy tuxedo pants straight from the boys' section. The angular, sometime... (original story)
