Nanette Lepore's Fall 2014 Collection Outfits the Bohemian 9-5
Some designers don't need all the colors of the rainbow to get their point across. Nanette Lepore's Fall 2014 collection stuck almost exclusively to a palette of wine-drenched purple, olive green, and black, broken up by the occasional sparkle — a mature selection of colors for a glamorous woman with a hippie past. Her flower-child tendencies are visible in the loose dresses and messy braids she still favors, but this grown-up bohemian definitely has a day job.
