Fashion Fame

The Lela Rose Fall 2010 collection presented at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, New York, was a perfect nod to ’60s style fashion playing with bright colors and prints. Showing an array of one-shoulder dresses and mini skirts with sequins and pleats, this year’s Fall trend is dare to bare rather than flowery prints which was also there in her spring 2010 collection!

Lela Rose played a space-age style for Fall. Surface treatments played bigger role than usual. Pyrite zippers added interest on opening look, and constellation-like crystal embroidery livened up pair of evening dresses. But it was a blousy cinched-waist frock which was treated in a way to look like it had been lined with pebbles that really made an impression.

Among the top looks were cropped pleat-front trousers worn with silk top and black & white “constellation dot” jacket along with rock embroidered bib necklace. Blue dresses including cobalt blue brocade-sleeved dress with twisted front detail, and cinched waist navy dress embellished with “moon rocks design” and slightly white fabric also ruled the runway.

Lela Rose’s 13th Payless shoes collection were featured in this collection. Graced with a glitter-covered heel, patent pumps and knit bootie heel these Lela Rose shoes might grace any celebrity’s feet for the coming season of award shows.

Strictly made for girly girls, Rose sent out a mouth-watering collection of sweet cocktail dresses, along with masculine-leaning pieces. Among them was a nubby cropped pleat-front trouser in navy & gray and sharp little jackets in graphic pixeled print. Rose’s color palette was fresh and unexpected, with vibrant peacock, pear, cobalt, and “Mars red” hues accenting moody blacks and metallic brocades.

This collection was a solid lineup of special-occasion wears that struck a hard-to-achieve balance between high fashion and accessibility.
