London’s finest designers seem to have a soft spot to one of my favorite elements used in fashion: Lace.

Erdem was inspired by french actress Jeanne Moreau in her powerful yet feminine aura. Strong splashes of orange mixed with hues of tobacco were toned down by lace and floral appliques.

Preen, on the other hand, was inspired by the practicality of transitioning between seasons. Which means you can wear the pieces for summer (when the merchandise hits stores) and still be able to “winterize” them later on during the season. Very clever!

Both designers pre-fall collections are now available at AlOthman !
