Mercedes Benz Fashion Week: Designer Recaps-Pamella Roland

For Spring 2012, Pamella Roland drew inspiration from American Abstract Expressionist painters such as Robert Motherwell and Helen Frankenthaler. Roland created this collection infused with special fabrics and bold treatments that evoke the iconic paintings of this era.  Her Spring collection embodies femininity, power, and elegance, all elements Pamela is known for.  The color palette was simple with mostly white, lavender, and beige with hints of fuchsia and navy. She used sequins, tulle, brocade, beading, rosettes and ruching details in her designs and attracted the likes of actress Aisha Tyler and musician Hillary Scott (of Lady Antebellum). Hillary was kind of enough to take a picture with me and rave about “how beautiful, feminine, and strong the collection is.”  Photos courtesy of Jan Leach.
