ELLE edits the world of Pre-Fall 2014
It's not quite autumn/winter time yet, but why not come and dip a well-dressed toe in the start of the new season? Get ready to play with new shapes, silhouettes and stripes. Pre-Fall is often one of the most wearable seasons; it's about flirting with trends and having fun with a new style mood. This is not about rules this is about raw originality.

Arts and CraftsRagged and raw to the max. Forget clean lines - this is do-it–yourself design with a serious lick of luxury. Think artisan finishes, woven fabrics and coloured tribal prints. Texture, detail and oversized shapes are key. As Phoebe Philo told us: let your inner Ragga girl out.

'60s Silhoutte
The mini is back for pre-fall. Flirty shifts and short hemlines give a cheeky wink to the '60s. Don’t let a short hemline scare you; this is about body-skimming, not body-con, shapes. Quirky prints keep this fresh. (We heart Christopher Kane for this.)

Shape and Volume
Waterfall shapes and cascades of fabric flow beautifully through many of the designer pre-fall collections. Ballon shapes wrap expertly around the body in origami folds. This is a nod to our love of Japanese fashion. It's basic luxury at its best, and we can't wait to play with it.
