Rochas F/W 06.07 Paris

[fashionista-ta]

PS I noted that a few of the dresses make the models look fat ... never a good thing

...love this

there are so many great pieces in this collection, not to mention wearable ones. and even with this new edginess, i find the collection still to be very Rochas. it's all in the details, really.

It seems to me the funding for Rochas has got down season after season.
Don't like this much, but like those layered dress that looks like flying butterflies(sorry dunno how to describe them) very much.

^ my thoughts exactly...... a lot of the fabrics look too "dead".... not a big fan of classic stuff....

The details are interesting, but most everything seems a little flat, I have no reaction when I see this, it doesn't seem bad, just not all that inspired.

 

[aistobasbistoc]

Actually I do really like the darker pieces with more of an "edge", as has been stated.

Woow amazing collection so elegant and classic! the hairstyle looks so pretty (big hair and scarfs are just great!), i even like the shorts and boots...the smoking-eyes give the look its final touch. and those dresses, gorgeous

just watched the video on parismodes...the "cloud" dresses fluttered very beautifully, so did the odd volume-y gowns at the end..

I am normally not much taken by very referenced collections, but the way Olivier works them out, it´s never too much into a theme, where others would get instantly lost in storytelling.

Once again, a beautiful show and a strong collection in the showroom - I liked how Olivier managed to grow something easy and effortless in the codes he established for Rochas - the new felted knit coats - some of them covered in precious Chantilly, worked perfectly well in the mix with the evening gowns, on top of a nice skirt or just by themselves for somebody that had possibly never heard about either Olivier Theyskens or Rochas (still quite a good amount, I guess). I liked the pantsuits once again, as a counterpart to those that were strictly cut by others - Olivier´s flew so nicely on the body, while still shaping a wonderful, slender arm and small shoulders. The daywear looks with those knitted vests on top of shorts and a shirt, worn with opaque tights and boots, would be cute on a younger woman. The dresses with the small birds embroidered birds holding the long, gauzy skarves were such a beautiful touch to the gowns - very romantic, but not cute-sy at all, thanks to the restrained colour palette.

The only problem that I see with Rochas is that most of these clothes are still bloody expensive on the salesfloor - even though these clothes are devinely-crafted (I´d say the BEST of the BEST fabrics that money can buy, my word for this) and increasingly approachable, only few will be able to afford the hefty 1200€ pricetag of a breathtaking pair of smoky black washed silk organza trousers with their soft black underlayers.

I am so in love with the footwear, esp the boots

^The boots I am not so keen on (with the exception of the patent pair)...but the patent and silk pumps/anke boots are incredible. I love the way he uses an overly rounded toe and slightly set back heel.

 

[The_Ida]

The round toe makes the feet look smaller. I think they are very flattering. The patent boots have such a beautiful silhouette, I almost don't mind the patent.

I adore those ankle boots there..
