For the Tough and Cool

Along with the classics and back-to-basics on the runway for the fall season, there were those who continued along the cool but slightly darker path. Although I occasionally become quite overcome with nostalgia for times such as the fall collections of Prada or Celine, I was pleased to see that the cool-tough look had not left the runways.

(love these long socks)

Proenza Schouler Fall '10 - I absolutely love the tough vibe of the clothes. The make up is very dark, and completely in line with the clothes.

Alexander Wang Fall '10 - again with the long socks! love. The different textures in all the clothes are wonderful. There is still the rebel character but it has been compromised with tailored suit-dresses and the richness of the velvet. genius! and also a great usage of different elements to this collection!

I'll leave you guys with some music which definitely carries the vibes that these clothes do. Introducing Interpol. Sorry to leave music again!

what do you guys think of Interpol? yes? no?

Thoughts on the collections? Do you guys like the tough-rebel look; what were your favorite collections for this fall? Let me know! :)
