I have never liked turtlenecks. It’s the tightness I hate, I always feel like I’m being strangled, and will therefore spend the entire time pulling the neckline away from myself if I wear one. Not really a good look.
But I better start practising because The Preen A/W 10 collection was bursting with turtlenecks that just looked beyond chic.
Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi always produce beautiful collections that I obsess over, and this season they moved away from their trademark body-con dress (I’m OK with it, after all, it had got a little Lindsay Lohan) and moved into more grown-up territory. Turtlenecks are very grown-up.
My favorite pieces were the cut-out dresses, which exposed just a little flesh under the bust and at the back and the mannish jacket worn belted around the waist by Anja Rubik.
While Preen lacked any major dress-porn Jason Wu was luckily showing on the same day. Romantic dresses are what he does best, and I'm still in love with his S/S 2010 collection. He had evening dresses for almost everyone, whether it was the full-skirted Carrie Bradshaw-esque number, the adorable white lace trapeze dress or the flirty pink-feathered mini.
The “A/W” aspect of the collection came in the form of checked wool coats (I love the green one) and scarves worn over silk dresses, which was a little odd. As far as I’m concerned, Jason Wu’s strength is pretty dresses, and if I was a celebrity about to go on a promotional tour I would definitely look to his collection.
Which collections have you liked so far?
