Fashion is not Canceled

Fashion is not Canceled

While it might seem like sweatpants and athleisure wear will be the norm for the foreseeable future, we’re thankful for the fashionistas and designers out there reminding us that brighter days are ahead! Whether you’re on the frontlines and wearing protective gear and scrubs, or scrubbing your floors while running school at home and sustaining somewhat of a WFH career– Pearl by Lela Rose will be there for you!

St. Louis stylist Pia Koster had planned to be in New York in a few weeks for a preview of Pearl’s fall fashion line. But with the COVID-19 pandemic creating more uncertainty each day, that trip was obviously canceled. But fashion is not! Koster recently hosted an afternoon “Tea-Quila” party via ZOOM with other Pearl stylists across the country. Their WFH fashion “soirée” was held in full Pearl attire!

St. Louis’ Pia Koster (top row, middle) was joined by other Pearl by Lela Rose stylists for a ZOOM party featuring spring fashions and “Afternoon Tea-Quila.”

Collections from Pearl by Lela Rose are available through appointments with local stylists. The trunk shows always have a featured cocktail like the “Afternoon Tea-Quila.” We’re not sure if we’re more excited about future fashion trends or the idea of a Paloma in Place disguised as an afternoon cup of tea!
