N Y FASHION WEEK / An experience with Preen

Preen, a London based brand, is one of the top favorites because of their fresh touches of mixing high-end clothes with casual cuts and fabrics, especially because of their asymmetrical designs. Their collections aim at understanding the feminine silhouettes and needs, by using a masculine and deconstructed tailoring, which delicately fits the body.
