Revenge-Inspired Style: Guilty Pleasure – and Even Guiltier Fashion
Full-disclosure: I am completely obsessed with Revenge. I was a fan of Dynasty as a kid and I’ve been waiting decades for another guilty pleasure that stands up to the drama and fashion of the eighties soap opera. There’s a lot less shoulder padding and everyone seems to be about 90 lbs., but I can’t [...]
Obi Wrap Belts: Go Ahead and Tie the Knot
The obi belt, part of traditional Japanese dress and considered most elegant when it’s tied in proportion’s to the wearer’s dimensions (with a width about one tenth of your height). After centuries completing the look of a kimono, the obi belt is a must this season, whether you need one for a new fall dress [...]
VB Does a Body Good
I have to admit, I was one of the naysayers when I heard Victoria Beckham was launching a small collection of dresses. But then I tried one on and it made my body look like I work out for hours a day! VB dresses have hidden straps and hooks that hold you up and tuck [...]
Bensoni
I wouldn’t necessarily call Bensoni frugal, but the brand’s dresses and separates are certainly more affordable than Roland Mouret and Victoria Beckham’s and many of them feature the same lean silhouettes, done in monochromatic colors with careful pleat-work. The pieces above are classic and will last many seasons. Plus I love that you can go [...]
Amanda Seyfried in RM Roland Mouret: Snob or Slob?
On the rack I love the RM by Roland Mouret Isa dress, but the kind of side draping this dress has is simply not flattering when worn. Amanda Seyfried looks like she’s wearing a sadly cropped 80s prom dress (and I’m not even going to tackle the peep-toe shoes..safe to say eeck!). I know that [...]
RM by Roland Mouret Hebe Asymmetric Jersey Dress: Snob or Slob?
I am a rabid crazed fan of RM Roland Mouret but this striped jersey dress is not doing a thing for me. It’s a bit surprising to find one of his dress under $1500 but when I looked closely, I saw why (it’s made of jersey). The jersey fabric in black and cream stripes will [...]
RM Roland Mouret Unveils Collection for Lane Crawford
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 [...]
Zoe Saldana in RM by Roland Mouret
I actually would have guessed that this was a Ports 1961 dress, because I’m so used to seeing structured pieces from Roland Mouret, but the RM by Roland Mouret Jason crepe wrap dress ($1,760) that Zoe Saldana recently wore is a welcome surprise. It looks like someone may have added a stitch on Saldana’s dress [...]
Roland Mouret hosts dinner for famous people
What a fun dinner at Charteau Marmont! My favorite dress designer with lots of famous people. I’m not judging but Heidi Klum has my vote for best dressed (she and I share a passion for purple) though Devin Aoki comes pretty close with that hot little yellow number (is she really skinny or is it [...]
RM by Roland Mouret Mini Dress alert!
Now that I’m filled up to my ears with sale items, it’s time to start looking at dazzling colors for spring! Net-a-porter.com unveils the “Rainbow Project” from Roland Mouret today, an exclusive collection of colorful mini dresses. Roland Mouret made an entire career from the below the knee Galaxy dress so this is quite an [...]
