Banana Republic Fall 2011

What: TBF attended Banana Republic’s Fall 2011 Fashion Show and brings you the lowdown

What they Say: As in the season itself, the color gradient evolves naturally, shifting easily from vineyard tones of claret and plum to mustard, tomato and honeyed butterscotch…Effortlessly layered textures come into view as a strong focal point…cable-knits, faux fur scarves, leopard-print pieces and the like…Subtle notes of equestrian elegance—another classic autumn paradigm—exist through, from the ladylike riding gloves to the faintly jodhpur-like slim pant.

Banana Republic Fall 2011 Review

What We Say: The fashion show, the venue, the clothes, all looked very impressive. However, when we shop at Banana Republic, we certainly don’t look like a model down a runway. So let’s talk about how the apparel translates to the real world.

The colors were traditionally fall and very pretty–camels, mustards (we love mustard hues), oranges, etc. They threw in some leopard print, the oh-so-hot-right-now pattern—which added some pop to the ensembles. Expect to see lots of tweed, textures, and the pseudo-preppy apparel that is simple an sophisticated for the office or the street.
