Lela Rose Spring 2018 Ready-To-Wear ....Fashionweekly...On Fow24news.com

Lela Rose invited everyone to a picnic in the park today. It was Washington Square and there was a gourmet hot dog stand, a cookie cart, a portrait illustrator, and a flower stand. If she were ever to open a Lela Rose theme park, today’s presentation could be the perfect starting point.....
It was everything this designer is about: pretty and playful. The new clothes, of course, matched these sentiments, with lovely floral-print bow tops, striped poplin dresses, and placket pants. This season was also very much about vibrant colors and somewhat surprising two-in-one looks for the more traditionally minded Rose. She injected her ladies-who-lunch dresses with neon lime green and orange, and showed a beautiful ruffle-sleeved top and pencil skirt that could be buttoned at the waist and worn as a dress.

Other standout pieces included a green and white silk stripe organza dress with laced seams and a sky blue belted shirtdress worn off the shoulder with bow cuff sleeves. Rose’s Spring showing had a little more jolt and pop than the last couple of seasons, and in all it was a romantic and appropriate wardrobe for a dressy garden party in the middle of the city.
