Fashion Week: Lela Rose fall 2011 show report

Prints dominated the Lela Rose runway, covering everything from silk tops to gowns. The designs were obscured images from the works of artist Gerhard Richter and ranged dramatically — some resembling navy-blue paint splotches, others a blue-and-green ocean.

The show began with day-appropriate skirts, pants and jackets, and crescendoed into skirts, cocktail dresses and gowns of printed feathers, chiffon and hand-loomed organza.

Complementing the collection perfectly was the covetable — and affordable — footwear from Lela Rose for Payless. The chunky, textured styles (a mary-jane pump, mary-jane wedge, bootie, mid-calf bootie and classic dress heel) screamed “fall!” in shades of emerald and gray.
