Honor Fall 2012: The Bold and the Beautiful

It’s no secret that we are big Honor fans here at Fashionista. Just about every collections Giovanna Randall has shown thus far in her relatively young career as a designer has been so beautiful and elegant that it takes our breath away. Her fall outing, inspired by “this preppy boy on his semester abroad in college and meeting an exotic woman from South or Central America and how their styles mix together” was no exception. Not that it was more of the same. The prints–a big rose print and a geometric art deco print–were new and as Randall explained, she “took it a little bid bolder” this season.

That boldness could be seen in strong reds and purples and gorgeous big box-shaped bags. Still, she mainly stuck to wearable, classic silhouettes, as she tends to do. We were actually surprised by the lack of red carpet-worthy gowns, considering her burgeoning popularity with Hollywood starlets like Kirsten Dunst and Shailene Woodley, who was in the front row looking like the low-key, five-finger shoe wearing, former American Apparel employee she truly is.

The Best of Pre-Fall 2012

While spring and fall seasons may give us more to to ooh and ahh over, pre-collections often present more of what we actually want to wear. It makes sense, since everyone says the in-between seasons are the most important for retailers. And these designers have succeeded in making things we already want to buy, desperately. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until early summer (“pre-fall” is a bit misnomer) to do so. Click through for what we feel were the 10 most drool-worthy collections so far.

Honor Spring 2012: Breathtaking Beauty Via Catherine Deneuve and Jellyfish

As soon as Giovanna Randall’s first look walked out, it was all over. We were enamored.

Several small fans were stationed at the start of the runway, and as Solomon Burke’s “Cry to Me” (which you may recognize from a very memorable Dirty Dancing scene) began to play, they created an intentional Marilyn Monroe moment with the first look: a paisley silk organza cupcake dress, but without the coyness. The model just stood their for a second, letting it happen. It took our breath away, inspired the audience to applaud and set the tone for the rest of the show: unadulterated gorgeousness via sweet ‘60s glamour with a sense of humor. Apparently, someone cried at Honor’s first show and while that sounds like a rather extreme reaction to clothes, we totally get it now.

The clothes were so precious, delicate and beautiful, it was hard to believe they were real.

Last Night’s Party: Newbie Label Honor Opens First Store in NYC’s Meatpacking

Designer Giovanna Randall‘s ultra-feminine dreamy line Honor is just two seasons old but she’s already opened her first store in NYC’s meatpacking district–home to Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, DVF, Moschino and Jeffrey.

It’s a ballsy move to open a store in the city’s swankiest shopping district when you’re a new label, but it was an imperative for Randall. “I think my brand is about a personal experience and I wanted to really hone in on that right away,” Randall told at last night’s fete to celebrate the store’s opening at 68 Gansevoort St. “I’m not making a lot of pieces and it’s all about custom clothing so I wanted to have that place.”
