Spring Fashion Preview

Lela Rose sexes up new collection and Orange Is The New Black star approves

NEW YORK — What is it about Orange is the New Black stars and fashion shows? All through Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, actresses in the hit Netflix series were front and center at nearly every runway presentation.

"We never get to dress up, so it's really fun for us to get all done up and be seen like kind of pretty every now and again," Taryn Manning explained before the start of the Lela Rose runway show where she snagged a prime front row seat.

"She's girly and sexy, but there's still a dash of edge," Manning said about Rose's collection. "And it fits really well."

Manning, who portrays Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett, a born-again huckster who got a new set of teeth in season two of the series set in a women's prison, looked nothing like her faded character as she posed in a long-sleeve mauve lace dress with a crop top overlay from Rose's resort collection.

"She's an amazing designer," Manning said about Rose, who hails from Dallas. "She's girly and sexy, but there's still a dash of edge. And it fits really well."

Rose's spring 2015 collection seems more overtly sexy than previous efforts, with sheer dresses in linear patterns over high-waist black panties and many looks with a cut out just above the navel to expose a triangular part of the midsection, which only the most confident woman might want to do.

But the collection, which Rose said was inspired by the modernization of a vintage kimono, still offers lots of ladylike yet sexy combos that her fans have come to expect. Dresses in oversized polka dots, water-print florals and metallic stamping reflect a Japanese influence with structured folds, wrapped bodices and voluminous back panels.

And for evening, Rose ramps up the glamour with a number of gowns made for the red carpet, including a metallic brush stroke beaded silk tulle gown that's likely to show up on an Oscar contender with awards season just around the corner.

Afterwards, Manning and other starlets, including Teen Wolf star Holland Roden, model Julie Henderson, who hails from Katy, and Top Chef judge Gail Simmons offered congrats while Rose's husband, two children and dog all seemed unfazed by the backstage hoopla.

Houston designer Christy Lynn brings fall-ready style to the city with jewel-toned dresses, signature prints, and hand-painted silks.

Houstonians may be sweating through the beginning of September, but that hasn’t stopped the city’s retail scene from daydreaming about fall. From designer finds to new boutiques popping up in River Oaks District and CityCentre, this month brings plenty of reasons to shop. After all, it is always a good excuse to escape the heat, look for something new, and enjoy wishful thinking that Houston’s version of autumn is just around the corner.

Blue Bird Circle
Back for its fourth year, the Blue Bird Circle's Couture Boutique is a can't-miss shopping event featuring a highly curated collection of designer clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry, and accessories from coveted names including Chanel, Dior, Gucci, St. John, and more — all at exceptional prices. The event is free and open to the public on September 12, from 10 am-3 pm at 615 W. Alabama St.

Burdlife
Get free piercings every Wednesday this month at M-K-T Heights piercing studio, Burdlife. Walk-ins and appointments are welcome, and all customers have to pay for is the jewelry itself, making it easy to get a midweek upgrade.

Christina Greene
Christina Greene launched Color Therapy, a new jewelry collection celebrating the way color can transform any look or mood. Known for her use of natural stones and colors, the brand created the collection around pieces that feel joyful, wearable, and easy to make your own.

Christy Lynn
Houston-based designer Christy Lynn Lee just dropped her latest collection of jewel-toned dresses and separates that are ideal for fall. Shoppers can stock up on her signature prints and hand-painted silks in transitional styles perfect for Houston's warmer autumn weather.

Creed
Available at the Galleria, Creed’s newest fragrance, Iris Debonair, is a floral fragrance inspired by British and French influences. The scent has notes of bergamot, absinthe, pink pepper, and cardamom.

Elizabeth Anthony
Uptown's must-shop boutique is celebrating 30 years this fall with a bevy of trunk shows and appearances. From Zimmermann to Safiyaa, Robertro Quaglia, and an in-person appearance by Van Gelder Find Jewelry, there is something for everyone to enjoy this month. More detailed information is available here.

J. Jill
Available at the Galleria, J. Jill has just dropped its reimagined denim collection, featuring new fits, fresh washes, and denim designed for all body types. The new line of denim is available in regular, petite, plus, and tall sizes.

Kendra Scott
The jewelry brand recently launched the Heaven's 27 Strand Necklace designed with the families of Heaven's 27 to honor the 27 girls who lost their lives in the Kerry County floods in July 2025. The hand-painted enamel hearts represent each girl through their favorite color. Kendra Scott will not retain any profit from the Heaven's 27 Strand Necklace; 100 percent of net profits will benefit the Heaven's 27 Foundation through the Kendra Scott Foundation.

Silvia Tcherassi
Houston is getting a new name in luxury fashion. Colombian designer Silvia Tcherassi is opening her first Texas boutique in River Oaks District. The boutique is located between the new Chloé and A.L.C. stores. Shoppers can expect Tcherassi’s latest ready-to-wear collections, Atelier pieces, accessories, and styles created exclusively with Houston in mind.

State & Liberty
Now open in CityCentre, Detroit-based State & Liberty is a menswear brand known for combining athletic fit with elevated style. The brand specializes in tailored clothing for athletic builds and offers suits, sport coats, dress shirts, and pants made with stretch fabrics for comfort and ease of movement.

Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters just opened a new store at The Woodlands Mall, introducing the brand’s latest retail concept to the market. The large, 5,604-square-foot space will feature a brighter, more modern design, making it easier for shoppers to navigate the store and personalize their looks. To celebrate the opening, UO Rewards members will receive a gift with purchase, with no minimum spend required, including a tote, gourmand fragrance, and patches.

Vince
Vince at River Oaks District is partnering with Houston-based ceramic artist Franki Star for an in-store art showcase. Running Monday, September 8 through Saturday, September 13, Star's ceramic pieces will be on display throughout the boutique all week. This art showcase is perfectly timed with Vince’s Fall 26 campaign launch.
