Roland Mouret Loves Junk in the Trunk
I predict Roland Mouret's Galaxy dress will be in future fashion history books. It is an iconic dress for this incredibly talented designer. And I don't just say that because it looks like a sexy 1950s dress that only a brazen pin up girl would dare to wear.
What I love most about Mouret is his obvious appreciation of a curvy woman. According to Fashion Week Daily,
For me it was about the woman’s body, and about developing the galaxy and the hourglass shapes, where the woman is much smaller on top than on the bottom; I call it the pear-shaped woman
It's like he's designing for me! Well, and all other women who have been blessed and plagued by an hourglass or pear shape in a tall and skinny world. I'm sure my husband can get on board with Roland Mouret's taste.
While his RM Resort 08 collection is not as clingy and va va voom as his previous collection, he still manages to create a sexy silhouette, but in a much more relaxed fashion. But true to Roland Mouret, there has to be at least one heavenly body dress that celebrates the figure 8: the Moon dress.

I'm especially loving the origami like details and architectural hemlines and inserts. Such a great way to bring attention to the most sensual part of the body-the hips. But more importantly, in my opinion, he is taking techniques that are very historic and couture in quality, and bringing them to ready to wear.
I may just have to bite the bullet, or in this case, unfreeze the credit card, and invest in one of Mr. Mouret's creations. All in the name of history.
