Fall 2012 Preview: Sally LaPointe

What inspired you for fall 2012?
I cannot tell you my exact inspiration right now, but I did go into this season wanting to tell a narrative, something rich and embellished.

How does this play out in terms of colors, materials and shapes?
This is something I think I would like to leave to the viewer to interpret for themselves when they see the collection. 

What music did you listen to while designing this collection?
Actually, I enjoyed a lot of silence designing this particular collection.  Not so much noise, more silence.

What do you look for when casting your show?
Intensity.  

How do you stay energized/balanced in the weeks leading up to NYFW?
I am usually pretty balanced, I am not at my best in very stressful environments so we do everything to ensure it never gets too much at one time.  And lot of Red Bull of course.

What other show(s) are you looking forward to seeing this season?
I will probably take a glance at most of the shows online; it is good to see what else is going on out there.

How do you plan to unwind after Fashion Week?
It would be nice to take a few days off, but I will begin designing right away so that I can be fully energized and balanced for the spring 2013 season.

Sally LaPointe will show her fall 2012 collection on Saturday, February 11th at Center 548.
