Wildfox's Fall 2015 collection is inspired by the idea of escaping winter for a vacation in Italy to spend long, leisurely days painting and exploring the sights, swimming in the sea, and riding Vespas along the breathtaking Amalfi coast.

Creative Director, Kimberley Gordon, says, "I kept feeling like I didn't want summer to end. I'd been looking through Slim Aarons' "La Dolce Vita" and I wanted to slip inside the book and onto the lounge chairs. When you start designing for fall, it's fun because you can play with knits and jackets, but I find it hard to have to get so dark and cold with colors! I thought about where you could be that fall could feel like a continuation of summer…a permanent vacation."

The collection will be available starting in July at the brand's Sunset Plaza flagship store in Los Angeles, as well as online at Wildfox.com, and select specialty and department stores worldwide. Prices range from $55-$218 for knit tanks, tees, sweatshirts, pants, and dresses, $98-198 for sweaters, $154-$220 for woven tops, jackets and bottoms, $128-$158 for denim jeans, skirts, dungarees and dresses, and $28-$148 for intimates.
