Lela Rose Spring 2012

Right: washed out floral knot front dress

Lela Rose Spring 2012 is inspired by the neon sign graveyards - unrestored and broken signs of Las Vegas and the amusement park theme of Coney Island.

Bleached metallic tweed, stripped paint twill and washed out voile tell the story of what was once new has faded overtime.

Letter blocking and chipped embroidery represent the weathered stacked signs of Las Vegas, while cyclone prints, carnival stretch cotton and dotted blocked knits bring a Coney Island "funhouse" vibe.

The palette includes faded lemon, periwinkle and neon tangerine in light bulb lace, fringed organza and border jacquards.
