Luella

A lot of checks and hints of leopard prints. I love the mix of different patterns. It has a little British punk feel. Tayloring is strong in this collection, and it seems like the whole masculine look will live on a while longer. It’s all very buttoned up with little skin, but the different colors and patterns gives in an interesting flare. Looks like we might save our bow shirts and shorts for next season. I love the powder pink mixed into it all.

A lot of patterns here too, checks and houndstooth mixed with bold prints in fancy colors. The collection is feminine in shape, with lots of dresses and pencil skirts. The different prints adds extra drama to the feminine outfits. The old vest seems like it may last. I love the green.
