“I wanted her to be really powerful in a subtle way,” said Sally LaPointe of her girl for resort. “Each piece has that duality.” Her first thought was leopard print, which she muted and abstracted onto stretch-cotton pants, gauzy skirts and a gorgeous hand-beaded top in a subtly interpreted pattern.
LaPointe’s separates were notable for their day-to-night versatility and subdued sense of luxury; a black, rope-embroidered T-shirt embellished with matte beading and track pants covered in blue sequins were the best examples. There was plenty to love in LaPointe’s lineup, from a black utilitarian shirtdress in double-faced crepe to a slate-blue belted leather jacket.
