Dressing Your Dark Side: Lena Lumelsky FW12

There are days when you want to wear flowers and cardigans—because the sun is shining, you've done your laundry, and you've paid your rent on time. But for mornings when you don't feel like Marsha Brady, there's Lena Lumelsky. The Antwerp-based designer is about being feminine, not girly. So there are flowers in the fall collection, but they're made from deep burgundy macramé and cover a sheer black mesh turtleneck. Similarly, there are full skirts, but Lena cuts them from leather and trims them with black tulle. And, showing you that white doesn't have to make you look like you're walking down the aisle, an ivory crepe silk dress stands out this season as a piece of signature Lena Lumelsky drama.
