PARIS, March 2, 2006 - The challenge for the House of Leonard is the same each season. How do you take an all print collection and make it look other than monotonous? You can attempt to do so, as was done for Fall 2006, by sprinkling on crystal, folding in pleats, adding plumes to epaulettes and changing the color scheme. Of particular interest was the series of royal blue velour ensembles, largely solid with only bands of print running around the sleeves. The resulting collection was fluid and feminine, and by all accounts a success with the company's primary market - the hoards of French women of a certain age that chatter incessantly throughout each show.
