//DDD// Jill Stuart Fall Winter 2012

Written by Lynn Furge, Senior Fashion Editor Photography by Casey Vange for www.figphoto.net Jill Stuart kept things youthful and feminine but added a whisper of sex appeal this season. Not so girlie and sweet, a plethora of little black dresses with flesh exposing patches of tulle or lace were the meat of the collection. Floral patterns were darker this time and some slightly surrealistic tulip shapes popped up amongst what looked to be thistle patterns whizzing past.

When trousers made their way down the runway they were lean and cropped save for one pair of sailor pants that looked perfect with the black and white graphic run it accompanied. The monochromatic tones of plum/wine/burgundy were also a welcome break in the world of prints. Hot patent platform mid-calf boots were a home run. All in all there was something for everybody shape and multiple age groups which should leave buyers more than pleased.
