He makes good dresses. They're cut for a woman... and they can be flattering. He makes good spring. You know that chick from the Constant Garderner? Rachel Weis? He dresses her, she looks good.

He gets worse and worse with each collection (I really adore his earlier collections though and do believe he is talented)

 

[Halcyon]

Wow it is very different than what he normaly does, not really in terms of cuts but I don't think he's ever used patterns like this before. I look forward to seeing the rest!

Finally he's going back to his more body-conscious roots. After those few seasons of him experimenting with volume this is so refreshing.

That first look on Lily D is fantastic, as is that long sleeve leather pieced dress.

i saw a photo of a dress in a pastel coour scheme in the daria werbowy thread... nice!

 

[ad454]

I like the black leather dress. Very sexy. Wish I could see a detail shot. Why is style.com so slow?

 

[Bidwell]

When did he ever NOT do body concious? He's certainly consistent and working in black&white makes things a lot simpler it must be said.

 

[CharlottefromCA]

So far I like it better than last season..

well, even though i've always been a fan of him ever since he started at cerruti, i have to say he doesn't really excite me anymore as much as he used to.......the color palette, the cuts, the dresses.....everything is just soo predictable and a bit boring. i just wish he would evolve a bit ......

 

[kalypso]

Very nice. I agree that it is better than last season.

 

[Kimkhuu]

looks like they brought a new twist to last season's very minimalist approach....

i think it's a very strong collection, by narsisco standards...

the style.com review

Narciso Rodriguez's fall collection was a study in contrasts. He played with two ideas: volume and its absence. The former had him experimenting with ballooning skirts with something of the ballerina to them. The latter, more familiar territory, saw him revisiting his rigorously seamed sheaths, but in color combinations a shade more offbeat, say black, white, and baby pink. Silk insets on a wool dress looked geometric in their precision. And coats, though no doubt soft to the touch, called to mind a warrior's armor. Perhaps that's why Rodriguez has so many fans—his structured clothes make them feel protected (or put another way, held in), and sexy at once. If they call for a frame that has little in the way of the superfluous, so be it.

After dark though, Rodriguez mostly avoided his signature seaming, focusing instead on simply cut, above-the-knee tanks and sheaths saved from plainness by elaborate, all-over embroidery. A white glass-beaded dress was further embellished with clear plastic paillettes. And one silk faille shift was so densely woven with silver it resembled chain mail. As for the floor-length gowns that have made him a favorite of his front-row guest, Oscar nominee Rachel Weisz, there were none to be seen on his runway. Rodriguez must be saving them for her red carpet victory lap.
