Fashion feature: Timo Weiland Fall 2012

Plaids, mismatched prints, gauzy layers, dark florals and long vintage inspired skirts; all the recognizable aspects of a 90's era grunge theme were present on the Timo Weiland Fall 2012 runway. But for this collection the looks had a serious glam upgrade via impeccable tailoring, fur trims, and lots of  luxe fabrics.

However, with this collection, where we saw a sharp eye for editing,  a more developed point of view, and a more sophisticated execution than ever before, it was clear  that the pair is moving beyond that "for hipsters"  classification, and becoming a full-fledged force in high-end international fashion.

But we do expect to see these styles cropping up again and again in the major, more couture-focused,  glossies in the months to come.  And that will be a major change for the label.
