Editor-In-Chief of CupcakeMAG|Sprinkles, Casi Densmore-Koon with William
Walking into the Callula Lillibelle S/S 2011 presentation, we knew instantly that we were about to see a very special collection. First of all, the show was off-site, at a Midtown brownstone. The atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed, (think 1960’s cocktail hour) and effortlessly refined. We were welcomed warmly and genuinely, by William Calvert and Melanie Fraser Hart, the duo behind Callula Lillibelle. As a team, we were pretty excited about seeing this collection; you can read all about our excitement and learn more about this line, in our previous Callula Lillibelle blog post.

Each look that was shown from the S/S 2011 collection was individually unique, but all of the pieces work with each other, making the Callula Lillibelle line even more appealing. The price points are sure to entice buyers as well, "We started in the recession," said Fraser Hart. "Nothing is more than $450." Considering that designer William Calvert is an acclaimed fashion designer and couturier, with an eye on fine detail, we were blown away that such an impeccable collection came with a much more accessible price tag.
Colors in the collection ranged from black, nude, white, then jumping in cohesively to bright color. Detail was absolutely key, with fine piping, trims all making a nod to sophistication and chic stars from the past.
Fraser Hart explained to us, “This isn’t a line just for young 20-something’s, there is something for every woman. We wanted women to want to wear what is in their closets and be able to go from the office to a night out with ease.”
We left the Midtown brownstone giddy; with excitement after the Callula Lillibelle presentation, knowing without a doubt that William Calvert and Melanie Fraser Hart have created a collection and a line that will be not only well received, but highly sought after.
