One factor about Lela Rose, she likes a theme. Prior to now she has mined fruit stands, the Nutcracker, and the Queen of Hearts for her chipper, motif-heavy collections. This season is not any exception. Rose was impressed by that of CS Lewis The Chronicles of Narnia (she’s clearly not alone; Greta Gerwig has been tapped to direct movies based mostly on the collection). The novel – with its White Witch and heroic lion Aslan – actually affords loads of richly textured inspiration. You may see it within the gold Rose makes use of for embroidery, tassel fringe, and velvet clothes and fits, and the fragile, ethereal night put on. That is actually a set that appeals to holidaymakers greater than beachside holidaymakers.
An intricate mirrored sample that includes a solar, lion, butterfly and snake provides sleek drama to the easy silhouettes. In truth, a lot of the clothes is definitely fairly easy: relaxed pantsuits, fit-and-flare clothes, A-line clothes. They’re dramatized by the textiles and decorations. Luxurious? Sure. Secure? That too.
