Forever 21 had their Fall Press Preview two nights ago and Racked showed us the sneak peek of the season below:

(racked)

Racked also let us know that the fall season will be broken into four different inspirational themes:

Boho
· Inspired by 70s music scene with a mix of Cochella for today
· This girl (and guy) embraces their free spirit and is into music, fashion and blogging
· Think "Just Famous" LA music dcene...but "less grunge"

Vintage Darling
· Turning old things into new by making it modern
· Oversized clothes and pearls
· Traditional blends of knits and prints for fall with a bite

Rustic Cabin
· Navajo inspired
· Desert color palette
· Usage of natural elements such as raw canvas and natural leathers
· Turquoise jewelry and desert rose bronze accessories

Midnight Angel
· Punk era hip style from New York's LES
· Bursts of neon against black
· This style maven takes traditional items and alters them to suit their personal look (i.e. crop top and harem pants)
