This weekend, there was a preview of the new capsule collection from Plains and Prints. Needless to say, I had to check it out. And when I did, it confirmed
my initial observation that this collection was very much "inspired" by the Lanvin & H&M collaboration last September.
Observe:
A stash from the Lanvin x H&M collection last September. (Not mine, just from the net.)
A stash from the Plains and Prints capsule collection. (My sister's stash.)
Lanvin x H&M had free tote bags...
So do they.
Free hangers for every item bought...
Free hanger with every item bought.
(Too bad they couldn't give away garment bags, too.)
But even if the peripherals brought about a feeling of deja vu, the capsule collection of Rajo Laurel is definitely fresh and unique. The fabrics felt so expensive, especially the washed silk that the dresses were made of. And some of the designs were very innovative. My favorites include the dress with the beaded shoulder detail, a jersey draped dress, and the top with a draped collar that could be worn in a multitude of ways.
I must say, his 2nd collection for Plains and Prints was a notch or two higher than his first.
And that's original.
