Lela Rose Fall 2015: A Nod to the American West

Lela Rose F15 (39)The root of inspiration for the Lela Rose Fall 2015 collection originated with a nod to the American West, specifically Wyoming, a destination the designer frequents.

The elongated silhouettes, fringed knits, and beaded feather motif make a reference to the visual vocabulary of the rangeland and one-time frontier.

The evolution of this language and spirit takes a decidedly modern turn with the use of specially designed fil coupé faille, guipure lace, and tweed. Fringe cut faille is seen in an elongated tunic over matching trousers.

Additionally, feather weight tweed is pleated in a calf length skirt and tweed organza is shown in a fringed tank dress.

The Fall 2015 color palette explores a mixture of black, ivory, and steel, infused with soft hues including lilac, pale turquoise, and magenta.
