After seeing his latest collection this morning, we can safely say Steven Alan's Fall 2012 range is no exception. From fair isle sweaters to pleated mini-skirts, tons of tailored tweed, and ankle socks paired with patent leather penny loafers, the New York-based designer makes the kind of stuff we'd happily consent to wearing as a daily uniform.
