The economy may be in the gutter, but fall is looking up. WWD has crowned the season’s best collections.

Others they like: Karl Lagerfeld’s crazy ruffles, Christian Dior’s mix of 1920s Paris and far-East exotica, and a WWII-inspired collection from Lanvin. The inspirations may be all over the map, but they’ll hopefully all have one thing in common: the power to stimulate—both the economy, and our moods.
