Just as most of us refrain populating our closet with matchy-matchy outfits, Lela Rose refrained an overtly matchy autumn collection.
She paired hard tweeds and grey wool with vibrantly patterned silks and flowing chiffon, alternating defined waistlines with loose silhouettes.
Rich colors will keep away the malaise that comes from jettisoning bright summer frocks for a drab fall palette, and her pretty sportswear and sporty evening wear let women be pretty without being proper.
We saw a colour palette of ivory, gold, magenta, purple and beetle green.
We saw textures of silk, taffeta, tweed, cashmere, wool, chiffon and felt.
And the key looks included lazuli blue cashmere tank, forest tweed skirt, pod necklace; storm cloud embroidered palliate dress; taffeta low back sheath with embroidered belt; beetle green silk chiffon ruched v-neck gown.
