BCBG Max Azria’s fall collection is the perfect fit for the season

One of this season’s greatest sartorial pleasures is trading flip-flops and short shorts for more sophisticated clothing in rich, harvest-inspired hues and lush fabrics. BCBG Max Azria’s fall 2012 runway collection features these luxuries in spades — camel, burgundy, chartreuse, and black are presented in bold, geometric patterns on flowy, 70s-inspired dresses and pants. Topped with a trench or a leather bomber (or fur, which was everywhere at BCBG’s runway show), the look (at right, $562) will take you through the cooler weather in style.
