Lialia Spring/Summer 2011

Our last but most definitely not least designer spotted at the Capsule show is Lialia, a line designed by two sisters, Julia and Natalia Alarcon, who are new on the scene but whose work already has been recognized by WWD and Gen Art. We spoke last week about how access to computer-generated print programs is bringing excitement into fashion, but what’s neat about Lialia is the attention not just to the print, but the marrying of its earthy designs with light-as-a-feather, futuristic-feeling fabrics for a look that is thoroughly modern. The end result is a next level shift that is feminine and super smart. A couple more looks after the flip.
