Although there is the occasional olive green and deep blue peeping throughout the Vera Wang Pre-Fall 2014 collection, overall the uber elegant ensembles are created in all-black fabrics. As WWD points out, these pieces could have easily been plucked out of the designer's own closet. Chic and feminine with a subtle menswear twist here and there, the designs are perfect for powerhouse women who want to look the part they play.
Ranging from delicate to tough, the Vera Wang Pre-Fall 2014 collection has everything from a sequined tulle tunic to a tough leather biker jacket, a deep V gown to a sleek parka. Although the cuts are refined, the use of black really gives the fashion line an edgy appeal that will speak particularly to urban women.
