Fashion Designer Fall Collections — Page 2

This second fall page continues the season where page 1 left off: easy access to fall fashion photos, fall fashion collections and fall fashion news, from Karl Lagerfeld through Yves Saint-Laurent. Page 1 covers Alexander McQueen to Judith Leiber — the series block below links both pages, so the complete fall list is one click away from either.

The Second Page of Fall

The names on this page carry some of the heaviest fall traditions in the directory. Karl Lagerfeld's fall record is a study in reinvention inside a house style; Ralph Lauren files the American autumn — tweeds, knits and equestrian polish; Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs file fall as spectacle; Stella McCartney files it with a conscience about materials; Valentino and Vera Wang close the page with evening and bridal weight. Burberry's fall fashions are filed on this page as well — fittingly, since no label is more identified with dressing for cold, wet weather.

Each entry leads to that designer's fall fashions page: the season's photos, collections and news filed together. Set two or three side by side and the page teaches the real lesson of the fall list — that “fall fashion” is not one look but dozens of answers to the same weather, separated by city, house tradition and the designer's own hand.

Fall Beside Spring

Every designer here also has a spring record, and the contrast is the point of the seasons system: the same name designing for cold weather on these pages designs for warm weather on the spring pages, with fabric construction and color chosen for the opposite end of the year. The Fashion Designer Seasons hub explains the naming and the cycle, and the spring collections are linked in the directory list below for readers who want to make the comparison directly.

From any entry, the rest of the designer's file is close at hand — collections, runway, fashion week, news and profiles pages all sit under the designer's name in this guide, so a fall visit can widen into the full record without starting over.
