Vera Wang has never been a name to watch, it’s been a name to wear, and the Vera Wang Fall collection is no exception to that rule. In a few other pieces, I’ve mentioned this ‘new minimalist‘ trend that is emerging this fall, and I do hope you’ve been paying attention, for in Vera Wang’s collection, the new minimalist theme is brought to life with a deliciously classical style that puts me in mind of Audrey Hepburn (though she’d probably insist on a pair of silk gloves, if I know her, which of course, I don’t.)

Garage Sale Grunge from Funktional
Jennifer Park founded Funktional based on her continued assertions that she couldn’t function, which of course, turned out to be fairly inaccurate given that in less than 12 months she founded a major fashion label that has been worn by starlets like Rihanna.

If one does not manage one’s expectations, one could be disappointed, but if one is willing to look beyond the cliché and spy true value, one will be exceptionally pleased.

If you don’t already visit the Vogue.com website, you really should. It’s fashion in the raw.
