The designer paired complementary hues - red and pink, cobalt with green - for a fresh and vibrant Fall 2012. Hemlines were ladylike, silhouettes were streamlined, and fabrics were super-rich. Knits, fur, tweed, angora, and leather lent a luxe undertone. Among the more surprising options were wide-leg, knee-length shorts in both knit and leather; just perfect for the girl who cares about trends but still wants to feel cozy.
