By now, we don t have to tell you that the 70s are back. Nanette Lepore s bohemian, romantic aesthetic lends itself well to the era, and there was no shortage of paisley, off-the-shoulder blouses, or indigo in her showroom. Instead of designing vintage replicas, Lepore honed in on her favorite 70s details: Billowing sleeves, lace-up bodices, and eyelet embroidery were cute twists on easy silhouettes. Denim was a big theme, too, with a dozen shades of blue dominating the racks. A soft, frayed knit that resembled dark-rinse denim was used on a kicky A-line skirt, shrunken jacket, and fringed poncho. "It s hard to get ponchos right," Lepore said, "but this one feels like a jacket, too." Along with an indigo-dyed lace dress and superwide gauchos, it was a collection highlight.
