Lela Rose mixed-and-matched trends such as florals with the classic polka-dot for some of her looks, while also including some cross-hatching patterns, which were worn by the designer herself.

Her collection showcased a multitude of styles such as oversized tops, boxy blouses, off-the-shoulder looks and cut-outs. Sophisticated can be used sum up the designer's Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Lela Rose did not deviate too far from her usual whimsical and brilliant-colored looks, inserting some pops of color with bold yellows, punchy pinks and accentuating blues amidst a bevy of black-and-white looks that dominated the runway.

The designer stated in one interview that her inspiration for this particular collection came from traditional kimonos, floral patterns and geometric elements. However, if there was one attribute about Rose's looks that fans such as Lea Michelle  and Kate Middleton look forward to most, it has to be the Dallas native's eye for rich fabrics.

Rose's latest collection showed just that. Lela Rose showcased designs that played off the texture of the pieces. One of Rose's pink looks featured floral embellishments on the garment's almost raised and crunchy fabric, mimicking the three-dimensional nature of a flower. Some of Rose's more dressier pieces included intricately beaded gowns and gorgeous satin halters.
