Ease was the word du jour at Lela Rose’s Spring bridal outing. There was nary a full skirt in sight, as Rose instead set her sights on the sort of shapes that would allow you to, say, slip easily in and out of a limo, hit the dance floor, and everything in between. Rose designed with a particular eye to the many varied forms the modern wedding can take; black-tie separates, which have proliferated in her brand’s ready-to-wear offerings, came to life as an organza capelet, embellished from the bustline down and teamed with a crepe column skirt, as well as in the form of a cream strapless tunic and trousers. Floral fils coupes, increasingly a signature element of the designer’s aesthetic, were well represented, seen here shot through with sparkling, metallic threads, and underscoring the offering’s feeling of both lightness and breezy luxury.
