INSPIRATION: Telescope images of lunar floors; the landscape of the Galapagos Islands; Vija Celmins graphite drawings of nighttime skies.
TOP LOOKS: Cropped pleat-front trousers worn with a silk top, black and white "constellation dot" jacket and rock embroidered bib necklace, cobalt blue brocade-sleeved dress with twist front detail, cinched waist navy dress heavily embellished with "moon rocks" and in a slightly wilted fabric.
ACCESSORIES: Lela Rose's 13th Payless shoes collection, featuring a glitter-covered heel, patent pumps and a knit bootie heel (think of a knit sock mixed with a sleek pump).
WHAT WE THOUGHT: Strictly for the girly girls, Rose sent out a mouth-watering collection of supremely sweet cocktail dresses (naturally), along with more masculine-leaning pieces such as a nubby cropped pleat-front trouser in gray and navy and sharp little jackets in a graphic pixelated print. Inspired by a recent trip to the Galapagos Islands, Rose's palette was fresh and unexpected, with vibrant peacock, cobalt, pear and "Mars red" hues accenting moody blacks and metallic brocades.
