Lila is a contemporary sportswear collection of stylish, well-cut pieces that bridge the gap between work and play. These are sturdy-chic clothes that stand on their own, but mix easily into modern wardrobes. For its second season, Lila, by designer Pamela Capone, builds on its growing reputation for masterful tailoring and luxe, but casual, fabrics. The spring collection adds a touch of whimsy--and feminine contours--to closely-cut basics like the twill trousers that earned accolades for fall. Contrasting with pants, pencil skirts and shrunken jackets in charcoal, olive and stone, colors like mint greens, baby blues and dusty pinks help interpret the line's three different spring moments: Surf fatale; Paris femme, and Hawaiian twist.
Lila's ode to surf and sun features cottons and natural fibers that define the collection as a whole.
