An adorably young, swimming-trunked Michael Kors sits in the lap of his fabulous mother Joan amongst his latest ready-to-wear and the quote:

“My Mom, Joan, has always been my biggest fan, she’s a constant source of support and inspiration, so to her and to all the great mom’s out there…Happy Mother’s Day!”

Aww, what a nice boy that Michael Kors is, so good to his mother! I bet he calls her regularly — I’m just saying, would it kill you to pick up the phone every once in a while?*

Other mom-designer windows featured are: Milly designer Michelle Smith and Rebecca Taylor, both with moms named Patricia; Lela Rose with mom Deedie Rose (cutest name ever); and Yigal Azrouël with mom Remond. [WWD]

Setting the stage with rich fabrics and bright colors, Lela Rose kicked off her Fall ’09 collection for Payless. All of the shoes feature signature marks seen in a number of Lela’s other collections. The Fall ’09 line, taking inspiration from the forest, doesn’t fail to supply us with a ton of fun colors and bows.

As we’ve learned over the years, Lela Rose has never been one to shy away from rich, enticing colors; a point she proved yet again with the launch of her Fall 2009 collection at Bryant Park this morning. 

“I almost never wear black,” Rose says in a pre-show interview, “this is as close as it gets!” she smiles referring to her black and white checked dressed that is belted at the waistline and paired with sumptuous looking ankle booties in a rich indigo. Her ensemble, including her footware (a result of collaborative efforts between the designer herself and Payless Shoesource), are reflective of the style showcased throughout her collection. Deep, rich, jewel-tones took center stage alongside structured pattern-mixes as Rose demonstrated easy contradictions between dreamy feminine dresses and structured, practical separates.

Her inspiration for the collection? The rainforest conceptualized as “the jewel of nature.” This concept was translated to hair and makeup by Tina Turnbow for Stila and Ted Gibson for the Ted Gibson Salon. Skin was dewey and fresh with a focus on shimmery cheekbones and iridescent eyes. The emerald and jade green shades used on the models were reminiscent of a beetle’s exoskeleton. This beetle structure was translated to the hair in the form of tousled locks that were teased at the crown and slicked back into ladylike ponytails.

All in all Rose’s show was a delightful portrayal of her aptitude for balancing both the playful and the restrained.

This winter’s Payless designers holiday collections include shoes from Patricia Field, Lela Rose and Abaeté.  The Patricia Field ones look like the only shoes I’d get close enough to inspect.  The other ones are a little blah to me…
