Hong Kong snobs, get your spanx on, RM Roland Mouret is launching a capsule collection for Lane Crawford this spring! The designer unveiled three pencil style dresses and two mix/match outfits yesterday in Hong Kong (after meeting with 20 lucky Hong Kong tai tais). Mouret said he based the collection on his interpretation of Chinese style as a balance between powerful femininity and urban strength. There are only 14 pieces of each design from the capsule collection, which will be split between Lane Crawford’s Hong Kong and Beijing stores. Prices will range from $500USD -$2,000USD
“Europeans are very conservative, but Chinese women are not scared of color, so I used a bold palette of scorching reds and fuchsia hues,” Mouret said. “The weather is also an influencing factor. Because of the heat, I went with a stretch crepe which is light, but has a high-end feel and yet still very urban.” Mouret also said he feels his iconic silhouette is suited for the petite Asian frame– I’m weeping, it’s so true! I have a dozen of his dresses in my closet and they are truly the most flattering for my tiny size! Oh how I wish I was in Hong Kong right now. Must dial my local snobs there to snatch up a few pieces for me.
These dresses are very pretty. I have a few of his dresses and the are very figure flattering. They fit close to the body but smoothly not hugging. Tina you have not shown any of your clothing or shoe purchases lately, I love to see what you buy. It gives me different ideas to try. That is how I bought my first RM dress from you reccommendation.
How I wish I could get my hands on at least one dress!!!! I’m barely 5 feet tall and dresses are so hard to find that fit!!
Hi Lori
I’ve been hesitant to share my purchases lately, have you seen the comments? lol
Apparently I’m pretentious and catty because I don’t like sloppy Boyfriend sweaters. oh well– can’t please everyone! But I’m so glad you discovered RM because of the site. he is truly deserving!!!
You must stop by an Oscar boutique, i got a white fox stole and a navy knit dress with an insane necklace for fashion week

The collection at Lane Crawford HK was snapped up within 2 weeks but I did manage to get one of the red dresses and I love it…his dresses really flatter the Asian figure and I also bought my first RM dress from your recommendation. So, please do share your purchases,,,and ignore the catty remarks from others. There’s a group of us couturesnob readers here who really love hearing what you have purchased lately.
