“Simplicity”- Duckie Brown

PAMELLA ROLAND SPRING 2014 REGIONAL PRESS SKETCHInspired by her recent trip to the Cannes Film Festival, designer Pamella Roland has created a collection for Spring 2014 that captures the glamour and energy of the star studded French Riviera as it was in the 1960’s.

“We looked at Bianca Jagger’s life prior to her Studio 54 days, and we were drawn to her Latin American upbringing. Other influential Latin American women across all decades started coming to mind with Frida Kahlo at one end of the spectrum and contemporaries such as Carolina Issa and Alice Dellal at the other. The result was American sportswear-inspired pieces with strong Latin American details: bursts of color, saturated prints, rich textures and intricate embroidery.”- Rebecca Minkoff
