FW Runway Report: Nanette Lepore
Nanette Lepore doesn’t shy away from color, but for spring she went mad for hot hues that looked stolen from a Fauvist painting or a jumbo box of Crayolas. This resulted in a dreamy (if slightly too long) ruffled silk gown in teal, striped cardis in green, blue and pink (with Aztec-inspired yarn trim) and floral-print skinny trousers. Still, calmer stuff to mix into an everyday, less exuberant wardrobe also showed up — a crisp shirt/tunic with cape-like detailing at the back, a short, puff-sleeved khaki trench that’s going on our spring wish list. Models catwalked in towering posy-print sandals and bright wedges, a bracing contrast to the mostly fluttery clothes. —Jennifer Barger
