Bewitching silhouettes, gossamer fabrics, romantic hues: there was nothing not to love about Lela Rose’s Fall 2013 show. We spoke with the designer after her show last night to learn about how she created one of the season’s loveliest collections. Click through to see—and hear—all about it!
"‘I normally choose art as inspiration for my collections, because it’s a well of amazing ideas, but this time my son was given the Brothers Grimm fairytales for Christmas,’ Rose explained to us." — polyvore-editorial
"‘It has a magical quality, but yet a dark side, because the real fairytales are very uncanny—the bird comes back, the tree regrows—it’s a sensibility that’s especially clear in the fabrics, hair and makeup.’" — polyvore-editorial
"Why are her collections so optimistic? ‘That’s my personality!’ she says with a laugh. ‘I love wearing clothes, I love wearing color. I love the whole fantasy behind it all.’" — polyvore-editorial
"‘Clothes should make you look and feel great, make you feel happy about wearing them,’ Rose concluded. ‘I think that’s why you really don’t see a lot of heavier pieces in what we do!’" — polyvore-editorial
