Sally LaPointe Spring/Summer 2016.

Luxe Minimalism works very well for designer Sally LaPointe. Known primarily for her cozy and luxuriant knits mixed with expensive fabrications, ie... Fox, Leather and the like, this collection was a departure in the sense that LaPointe had to mine different veins to find her luxe caliber niche this season. She did so swimmingly. Her Spring/Summer 2016 collection was a modernistic approach to sportswear with an almost intellectual bent to it that served it exceptionally well. LaPointe's fashion this season, while urban and gritty, was also beautifully richesse with tony beading and sequin effects abound.

LaPointe kept her colour scheme reserved yet bold, Black, White, and Steel Grey kept the collection grounded in reality as did Vanilla and Coffee Brown, (most effective in a Pony skin coat). Cayenne Red lent a dash of heat to the rather cerebral and cool countenance of the collection, but did not distract from the key theme of minimal luxury. Later, a whisper-y Frost Blue brought that coolness factor to the freezing point and was especially desirable when it was paired against that peppery shade of Red near the end of the collection in a long trench and equally lean and long dress. LaPointe's collection was perfectly executed and brilliantly judged, it was an exercise of restrained, minimalistic and intelligent design and left one wanting more. That's always best in cases such as this!





That's All.
