Lela Rose knows that this city is rarely quiet, so on the 10-year anniversary of September 11th, she prefaced her AM show with a moment of non-silence. The Studio darkened and John Lennon’s “Imagine” resonated through the sound system as hands eased, cameras lowered, and what seemed like a universal spinal chill passed through the room.
Once the desired reflection was achieved, the lights lifted to invite an up-tempo beat and a defiantly positive collection, as if to reassert to the world, “There is no stopping New York.”
Crisp, yet feminine separates in colorful prints were paired together in a playful game of mix-and-match. Classic silhouettes bounced in breezy chiffons and flirted with coy cutouts. The show closed with “Go Outside” by Cults – an uplifting ending that infused the right touch of optimism for spring.
