A world of travel, history, romance, flowers and water-color worthy pastels. This was the world offered by the Lela Rose Spring 2020 collection.
In what has been a dreary start to spring and summer with the global pandemic and lockdowns, this Lela Rose collection reminds us of the beauty in the world around us.
There is hope for a sunny day outdoors walking in the park, of traveling to picturesque destinations or enjoying a garden party with friends.
The collection offered an array of feminine dresses perfect for a Sunday at church, a wedding, a date night or brunch with the girls.
Silhouettes included full-skirted creations with a fitted waist. This classic and feminine style remains just as stylish today as when it was popular in the 1950s. The fitted waist and pleating of the skirts offered a romantic option that could still be worn to the office. Dresses like this blue and white design were made work-ready with a button down top featuring a collar.
Not in the mood for a dress or skirt? There were also new takes on the power suit with color blocked slacks paired with a bandeau top and blazer.
Other dresses were gauzy pillar-like silhouettes reminiscent of the ancient Greeks and Romans. The tiered fabrics with ruffles, or draped designs with flowing shoulders created magical silhouettes.
Fabrics like eyelet, printed cottons, sheer prints and those with floral appliques offered an array of colors, textures and designs for a spring and summer wardrobe.
The season is on the cusp of blooming. And with a little help from Lela Rose, we can see a glimmer of hope with a reminder to keep dreaming of all that is lovely.
