Pedro Lourenço Pre-Fall 2012 Collection

Today I dream about the amazing pre-fall 2012 collection by young Brazilian designer, Pedro Lourenço.

Although Pedro is only 21 years old, it's hard to call him a young designer as he was only 12 years old when he showed his first collection at São Paulo Fashion Week.

With both his parents being designers he learned to sew before he could ride a bike! :) His new collection is very clean, graphic and sharp. I love the prints featuring beautiful images of mountains and glaciers and simple, minimalist silhouettes.

The colour palette goes from icy blue, through ombre peach to basic black and white. I also love this form of lookbook where the clothes play the main part - you can see all the details without being distracted by the colourful background or the model's poses.

Maybe thanks to the frosty colours and clean shapes this collection really matches the icy weather outside :)

What do you think?

Bravo Pedro!

Brics Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection

Today I dream about the wonderful A/W 2011 collection from the young Danish brand, Brics.

Behind the brand there's a trio of three talented ladies - Ingrid, Elise and Stephanie who are also the creators of one of the most popular Scandinavian fashion and beauty blogs, Anywho.dk.

Brics is a collection of outerwear and it's all about simplicity and minimalism. I love the pastel hues as much as the oversized shapes, they are perfect for layering!

Anywho... check Brics out :)

Claudie Pierlot Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection

Today I dream about the beautiful Autumn/Winter 2011 collection by Claudie Pierlot.

I'm always jealous of French girls - only they can achieve this effortless, nonchalant and super chic look. This collection represents that perfectly. The Parisian brand which is art directed by two sisters, Evelyn Chétrite and Judith Milgrom, showed the essence of that french charm in this collection.

The sisters share a sense of fashion and business - they are also behind two other brands: Sandro (I showed you their Fall 2011 collection here) and Maje.

I love every single piece of this collection: from the chunky knits, through the starry trousers, stripy tops and tartan ensembles to biker jackets and loafers. Some looks are a a bit masculine, some are a bit dandy but all of them are equally stylish.

Midnight in Paris :)

Raquel Allegra Fall/Winter 2011 Collection

Today I dream about Raquel Allegra's Fall/Winter 2011 collection which is just perfect for autumn!

Raquel is a California based designer who creates comfortable yet elegant pieces. I love the colours: cream, camel, gray and black plus some beautiful tie-dye. The oversized shapes, soft jerseys and chunky knits are just perfect for layering which is my favourite trend for every autumn.

Have a look at the lookbook and some looks from Totokaelo where you can buy some of Raquel's pieces.

J. Lindeberg Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection

Today I dream about the super chic Autumn/Winter 2011 collection from J. Lindeberg.

The Swedish brand, founded in 1997 combines fashion with sportswear. Although designing ski and golf collections is what made the brand famous, the main line is quite different.

It's very smart, elegant and classic. It's mostly tailored blazers and trousers, trench coats and simple shift dresses. To keep it far from boring there's also jeans, chelsea boots and cozy knits. To me this collection would make perfect workwear as well as being wonderful for any occasion.

Do you remember this post about The Kooples, a brand designing matching clothes for couples? This is another example how great a couple can look when styled in a similar way.

Have a look at the beautiful A/W 2011 campaign photographed by Andreas Sjodin.
