Lela Rose showed real development in her latest, sophisticated collection. A favorite of well-heeled private clients, this transplanted Texan has gathered some impressive buzz lately, courtesy of her clients the Bush twins. And the clothes Rose showed in the comfy confines of Christie s would clearly delight any first daughter, or even a first lady—regardless of party affiliation.
Rose struck an ideal balance between dressy and casual by pairing a white beaded tank with a lacy skirt, and an embroidered top with a full, swingy, ochre skirt. More formal was a white terry cloth suit with a trumpet skirt, and a stunning coat of the same fabric. For evening, there were slip-like dresses and styles with sleek bustier tops, as well as the requisite big-night-out gown with some pouf, all shown atop Rickard Shah shoes.
