Ladylike, '50s-inspired fashion may have been taking over the industry for a few seasons now, but the Band of Outsiders Fall 2012 collection made it clear that designer Scott Stemberg is not interested in that Mad Men-esque look.
Instead, Stemberg is focused on the old rugged Southwest this season. "Yes, it's the Great Plains and the great West, and a little bit of Mexico City," Sternberg told the LA Times after the show. "So it's kind of spaghetti western. For the men, especially, it was definitely time to go to that sort of western place."
From flowing maxi dresses to floral prints and soft colors, the Band of Outsiders Fall 2012 collection is cozy, bohemian and undeniably chic.
