Veronica Beard served up a spring collection called “Gilded Edge,” that featured softer tailoring and textured silks in very fresh, feminine silhouettes. The collection also has a softer palette of colors such as pale peach, golden ochre and pistachio that are easy on the eye.
According to Veronica Swanson Beard, who cofounded the company with her sister-in-law, Veronica Miele Beard, the collection was influenced by the boudoir, romance, femininity and embroidery — a different take for Veronica Beard. Ruffled chiffon, lace and eyelets are key details. “The eyelet is blowing up,” said Veronica Swanson Beard.
The line also offers new riffs on shirting and colored and embellished denim. Another pretty look is a jacket with a sparkle removable collar. Veronica Miele Beard said vests were doing really well, paired with pants for spring.
