Charlotte, NC – Rahe Lynne Clothier will present Lafayette 148’s Spring/Resort 2007 Collections in a Designer Showcase on February 13 through February 23.  

 

“This year’s collection brings out all of what makes being a woman positively fabulous at any age,” states Lynne Byrd, owner of Rahe Lynne Clothier. “The styles in the collection are absolutely feminine, yet cover the gamut from dreamy and romantic, to sculpted, refined and polished. Edward has managed to combine sophisticated fabrics and wonderful details in chic, modern styling that still has a timeless aspect. He truly understands the woman of today and what she wants in fashion.”

 

According to Byrd, whose clients range from women in their 20s to 60s, this year’s collection continues to bring an array of options. “The stunning colors, details, patterns, textures, and metallics are prevalent throughout this collection, offering something for each woman’s individual style and preference,” states Byrd. “This is why Lafayette has continued to be a strong collection year after year here in Charlotte.”
