it’s funny, this year i was actually in new york for fashion week and i probably saw less of the collections than i usually do. this is mostly due to the fact that i usually just view the collections in photo galleries from the comfort of my own home. and while in new york, i spent most of my time running around from place to place with hardly a moment to eat or sleep! but now that i am home, i’ve had a few days to catch up on all of the shows, and i have to say i have been delightfully surprised by some unexpected new favorites. case in point: peter jensen fall 2010.
i don’t think i’ve ever even looked at any of his collections before this year, but i have to say i am absolutely smitten with these vintage-inspired schoolgirl looks (especially after my infatuation with the equally fun, collegiate looks at proenza schouler pre-fall 2010). anyway, i read that this collection was inspired by the film adaptation of the prime of miss brodie jean. unfortunately, this reference is lost on me since i haven’t seen the movie or read the book! so i’ll add those to my list, and in the meantime, i will appreciate these perfectly wearable separates in quirky color combinations topped off by the prettiest little hats!

I love those tartan shorts. I've seen The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie once, when I was stuck at home with the flu, and it's actually pretty good, if only for the 1960's outfits.
Oh, this is lovely. I'm really loving all that mustard yellow – my favorite fall color.
Stop by my blog to enter my giveaway!
Great collection. The colours for autumn are lovely and I'm totally in love with that gorgeous grey dress.
well hey, hey, hey, I think we just made twin posts. haha. I think this calls for a movie night! You, me and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. I'm happy to see this collection getting some attention, its just so prefect.
Oh, those colors! Perfect perfect perfect.

these are quite marvelous. i think i saw a few pieces by Peter Jensen last year that i enjoyed. i really love how there is atleast one bright colour popping out with all the darker shades. the different hats are all amazing too.

WOW, that one model in the fur coat actually looks like a mannequin! Nice shots!
I'm loving that collection too, it's probably one of the only NYFW collections that actually caught my eye.
Hoping for more eye candy with LFW today!

Great pieces from a great collection.
That's funny about the inspiration: I just saw that movie about 3 months ago on Netflix streaming…it has a young Maggie Smith playing the title role. The movie wasn't so great BUT THE OUTFITS WERE AMAZING. That's cool to see it actually inspired a designer. – Bella Q
