KAREN WALKER-
"This collection is inspired by the inter-dimensional female time traveler based on the television series Sapphire and Steel I used to watch when I was 9 years old."ELLE
LELA ROSE-
"Fall 2015 is a mix of elements that I would best describe as fringe and feathers head west."ELLE
MARA HOFFMAN
"This collection is about keeping your feet on the ground, hands in the sky, and allowing the force to be with you at all times."ELLE
MONIQUE LHUILLIER -
"My fall 2015 collection plays on the juxtaposition of masculine and feminine. Strong, structured separates are paired with soft, fluid silhouettes."ELLE
MARISSA WEBB -
"Bianca Jagger and the boys club."ELLE
NANETTE LEPORE -
"For fall 2015, I've been channeling my unapologetic muse, the 'posh rebel,' to create a vision of a radiant nouveau girls club, a sisterhood secret society unified around the rallying cry, 'Rebelle Society.'"ELLE
PAMELLA ROLAND
"The fall 2015 collection is inspired by the world of fashion in 1970's Paris as described in the book The Beautiful Fall. It was a glamorous world of designers, models, photographers, and their creative conspirators that have become enduring style icons."ELLE
RACHEL ZOE
"I am endlessly inspired by the glamorous lives of women in the '60s and '70s. That era had such a wide range of iconic styles that I love to channel. I'm constantly seeking new ways to modernize the classics and reinterpret them for today's woman."ELLE
REBECCA MINKOFF
"[The fall collection is all about] the rock-inspired style of Patti Smith and the bohemian culture of New York in the early 1970s."ELLE
REBECCA TAYLOR
"The fall 2015 collection channels the eclectic French girl, Francoise Hardy. She searches Portobello Market and Les Puces de Saint-Ouen for cool Victorian pieces and soft, femme chiffon dresses to style with 'worn-in' military jackets."ELLE
SALLY LAPOINTE
"Inspired by Pina Bausch, I wanted to present a collection that is raw, honest, and a bit crude."ELLE

WES GORDON
"A confident and tough femininity inspired by the colors and textures of artist Grillo Demo."ELLE
JONATHAN SIMKHAI
"This collection feeds off the energy of an ultimate cool girl immersed in a world of race car driving. She dresses sharp and sleek without losing her sex appeal, wearing motifs inspired by oil spill, tire tread, and car wiring."ELLE
NICOLE MILLER
"The fall collection is inspired by mythic arts with a forest theme – the mysteries of the woods as seen through the eyes of illustrators."ELLE
TOME
"A zen-like fusing of different worlds, from an Antwerp dance hall to a NYC design studio."—designers Ryan Lobo and Ramon Martin.ELLE
HONOR
"The HONOR Fall 2015 Collection is inspired by the expansive American wilderness. This season, I was imagining the lush abundance; enormous trees, plants, wildlife, mushrooms, moss and toadstools," designer Giovanna Randall.ELLE
J. MENDEL
"For fall 2015, I was inspired by the dazzle of New York City after dark, and the enduring allure of its glamorous nightlife."—designer Gilles Mendel.ELLE
MILLY
"A nod to postmodernism, with sculptural shapes in prismatic hues."—designer Michelle Smith.ELLE
HARBISON

BCBG

HERVE LEGER
"This season, we're inspired by gothic and curvilinear lines." – Lubov Azria, Chief Creative Officer.ELLE
J. CREW
"We love the era in which Peter Schlesinger was photographing for "Checkered Past." There was an ease and an elegance to the clothing – a modernity that is equally relevant today." – Tom Mora, Head of Women's Design for J.Crew.ELLE
KAELEN
"The inspiration behind the fall 2015 collection is Audrey Horne, the most famous Twin Peaks resident in my opinion. I took from Audrey a sense of innocence, sex appeal, power and restraint all at once. I wanted to bring that into a more modern sensibility and envision her today, in New York, with all of the hallmarks of KAELEN—including strong graphics, strong textural elements and unique fabrications." —Kaelen Haworth.
