The wait is over: Twelve by Twelve, the new "luxe" line from Forever 21, launched September 25th in select stores and online.
What we've seen so far looks promising: Twelvebytwelve.com uses sexy branding. Clothes are categorized by snazzy names like "Dandy Dolls, "Mystical Forest," and "Modern Art." Each has it's own subtle flavor. Polyester is still prevalent but natural fibers can also be found. The overall color palette is more sophisticated and subdued than it's sister brand. Prices top off at $89 for outerwear.
Until we can get our paws on the real deal, we'll just have to go by what we see online. Here are some standout items from the debut collection...
[1] Downtown Double-knit Jacket, cotton, $69
[2] Cottswald Cocoon Sweatercoat, wool, $48
[3] Oxford Shirtdress, silk, $36
[4] Nostalgic Minidress, silk, $39
