Nanette Lepore

(NEW YORK) "Memories of a beautiful summer in the Hamptons with shooting stars and gorgeous gardens was my launching pad. I wanted to return to femininity in a way that we hadn't seen for a while. I wished to move away from the harder pieces and into a soft fluidity." Colorful ruffles and frills were certainly on tap for Lepore, as well as new elements that are fairly uncharacteristic. Crisp white oxfords were a departure from her usual romantic blouses. Of course, Lepore had to add her signature feminized touch to the oxford, including a cut-out, open back. You just can't take the girl out of Nanette!
