>> Kicking off the Pre-Fall 2012 season is Alastair Carr's third collection for Pringle. "I looked at the classic knit pieces in the archives and wanted to twist things up a bit," he told Style.com of his latest offering. Seams and sweaters are literally twisted; the Pringle argyle has been amplified and sewn on sweaters in colored crystals; and Carr replaced the classic twinset with a "triple set": a coat, sweater, and trousers. The graffiti print pants and dresses, meanwhile, were drawn from an image the designer snapped of Paris street art.

Pringle of Scotland Spring 2012

>> Alistair Carr isn't holding back. The new Pringle of Scotland designer debuted his first complete collection for the label today - and the Fashion Week crowd was out to support in full force. Abbey Lee Kershaw opened the show, while Pringle face Tilda Swinton, Anna Dello Russo, Irina Lazareanu, and Rosario Dawson were all in the front row.

For Spring 2012, Carr dipped into the archives of the storied house, bringing out classic knits and prints and giving them a kick into the future. Large-scale chevrons in multi-colored hues decorated the necklines and cuffs of thin-gauge sweaters, while silk skirts and pencil-dresses got a smattering of graphic prints in the form of links and chains. Silhouettes were streamlined and lithe, and there were plenty of highly-wearable separates. The designer also played with neons and brights, offering them up in clever slices at the lapels of blazers, as well as on the underlining of layered skirts and capes, which kicked up in a dramatic flash of color as the models walked.

>> Alessandra Ambrosio has taken a couple of turns on the Spring 2011 catwalks - the latest was at Giles, where she wore her bread and butter: a bikini. "I wake up and read [show stylist] Katie [Grand]'s message on my phone - 'Are you okay wearing a bikini?'" she told The Cut. "I had to think second thoughts about what I was going to have for breakfast. [But] I'm like, 'I guess.' Because I'm Brazilian and I do Victoria's Secret, it wouldn't be polite to say I'm not okay. As long as it's not a G-string, I'm okay. I'm a mom now: I can't [do G-strings]." See Ambrosio, Jessica Stam, and more doing the backstage thing during London Fashion Week - we've got snaps from Christopher Kane, Erdem, Giles, Mary Katrantzou, Matthew Williamson, Marios Schwab, Mark Fast, Peter Pilotto, Pringle of Scotland, Richard Nicoll, Jonathan Saunders, Topshop Unique, and Vivienne Westwood.

Clockwise from left: Balmain lace-up canvas boots $1195 Net-a-Porter, Alexander Wang asymmetric khaki skirt $595 La Garçonne, Alexander Wang khaki jacket $795 La Garçonne, See by Chloe cotton lace-up playsuit $495 Net-a-Porter, Marc by Marc Jacobs zip front cotton dress $250 Net-a-Porter, Pringle of Scotland suede insert trench $2995 Net-a-Porter, Theory asymmetric cropped jacket $355 Net-a-Porter, Alexander Wang safari wrap dress $765 La Garçonne.

Spring's military explosion morphed into more than a few desert storm safari looks for designers such as Alexander Wang and Balmain's Christophe Decarnin. Basic khaki staples like the classic trench and the shirt dress have been updated for 2010 with leather and suede paneling (Pringle of Scotland) and body-con cuts (Marc by Marc Jacobs). When it comes to footwear, Balmain's canvas ankle boots are a favorite, along with Alexander McQueen's cuffed version with grommets and Giuseppe Zanotti's army green, open-toe style.
