Ryu Ready

Ryu’s Spring Clothing Collection

A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose. And a precious blossom in head-to-toe logos is, well, a label whore.

Unfurl bright new spring foliage with Ryu, a new-to-Dallas women’s line with fashionable yet affordable roots.

Reminiscent of ultra-feminine contemporary lines (DVF, Milly), the collection includes bubbly cocktail dresses, silky bohemian tops, and ruffly blouses. But unlike midtier designer counterparts, each piece rings in under $90.

With a few notable pops of color, most looks use a neutral palette. We especially love the deep lavender peasant shirt and loose trapeze dress in ivory.

After all, a rose by any budget is still a rose.

Available at L. Bartlett, 3699 McKinney Avenue, suite 302, West Village (214-521-3500 or lbartlett.com).
