All About Althea

Take at look at some of my favorite looks from Althea Harper's newest collection.

This season's summary:
"Inspired by a recent visit to Thailand, the FW12 collection features customized animal prints, hand dyed natural fabrics, knits and unique silhouettes. The patterns are tailored to fit and flatter the curves of the female form, a skill Althea learned while working at Alexander McQueen."

My take on the collection? Those customized animal prints mentioned above come across as some sort of tiger-reptilian hybrid to me, and I am 100% loving it. My favorite piece of the print set being the first dress posted. A feminine dress perfect to twirl in, but edged up with a good print? Count me in. Also, I need to mention how much I love the sheer panels in the pants that featured in past collections as well. Those are a major WANT for me.

While you're all wrapped up in the collection, take a minute to check out the pieces in action in the video below!
