Dressed-up sportswear and sporty evening looks were the focus of Lela Rose’s lovely collection. She interpreted them with gentle contradictions and in graphic texture and pattern mixes: printed taffeta, for instance, in a skirt or trenchcoat, mixed with pieces in rich, gravel-toned tweeds. She combined hard and soft in a ribbed cashmere coat over a draped, embroidered silk and wool sheath, while short little paillette tank dresses and a metallic tweed sheath also had a casual élan. Rose’s gowns played with paradox — a floating one-shoulder look, for instance, was shown in a strict black-and-white plaid paper taffeta. And it all made sense.
