I have been stuck at home with really bad abdominal pain but this is not the reason for the post. The reason for it is i was invited to a presentation of the AW collection by the man himself at his new atelier in Mayfair - i had been so looking forward to it - i loved the collection, admire the man - seriously admire, and had a perfect outfit planned - so to say i was really really pee'd off to be stuck at home in pain was no understatement. Soo always the mistress of distraction i decided to take a look at the collection again and discuss it virtually if i cant be there!
Roland Mouret is the king of the dress - we all remember them, the galaxy, Victoria Beckham, form fitting and uber flattering but in more recent years his collections have been more fluid less figure hugging but still extremely flattering. I loved this move and this AW he definitely moved forward again with an easier more day aesthetic and it was these i particularly loved! So i have put together a selection of my faves - which were yours?? xx
What an amazing collection. So sad for you missing the launch. Valerie in Cape Town
ReplyDeleteYes i am pretty gutted - glad you liked it x
ReplyDelete#3 & #4 are my picks! I think Roland Mouret has an interesting story; he tried to work for Jean Paul Gaultier & was turned down, then started his own label, lost his full label name through legal tie ups and still today he's friends with JPG, has star power & designs très chic pieces. Love it! Is it obvious that I heart RM? Apart from that, I hope you are feeling better. ;o). xx from Soleil
