The Spring 2023 Collection is a masterful mix of textures, including those that LAPOINTE is most known for: feathers. 

‘Feathers are a way feel good,’ said Sally.

But the New York-based designer’s latest collection is a forward-thinking evolution of other mood-boosting and sustainable textures, like ruffles.  

‘You can evoke the same emotion as you would using fur through the use of color, feathers and texture.’

New this season are cutouts and mesh.

‘I don’t think you have to show a lot of skin to be sexy, Sally admitted. ‘So I do like coverage pieces, but for spring, we’re offering pieces that are a little more breathable with a lot of cutouts.’

'Ruffles have seen an evolution, you feel a certain way when you think about it and our ladies certainly love to feel luxe'

Marrying wearable silhouettes and fabrics with fanciful embellishment and extravagance, spring 23 has something for everyone.

A rainbow palette with pops of black and white, geometric cut-outs and sequin evoke joy and optimism. 

‘Fashion is emotional,’ said Sally. ‘It’s probably one of the most emotional things and you put it on your body every day.’

Thankfully we have LAPOINTE, clothes that make you smile
