Roland Mouret Spring 2012

Hannah Weil — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 11:40:21 PDT

Roland Mouret knows what women want: to appear incredibly sexy, without ever feeling like you've gone too far or tried too hard. For Spring 2012, he exercised that same restraint via cutouts and form-fitting shapes - but only to a certain extent. While his Fall '11 looks veered into softer femininity, there is a mix both of retro-inspired silhouettes giving way to more modern details. Dresses are, at first, printed and ladylike, then sharper and tailored, some with curve-hugging fits and flashes of skin via unexpected eye-shaped cutouts. Then, he counters with suiting; bright, slim trousers and button-downs, and midi skirts, all embellished with black ribbon bow-ties to temper the cutouts and sexier fare. You could just as easily find your standout cocktail dress as you could your workday office wear, and it would all be the perfect kind of sexy for whatever the occasion.

Trends: Brights, cutouts, ladylike dressing.
Colors: Black, white, blues, red, mustard yellow.
Key Look: The navy shirtdress and sheaths with surprising, sexy cutouts.
Accessories: White and black platform sandals.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave polish, but not without a little sex appeal.

Roland Mouret Named Creative Director of Robert Clergerie

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 07:30:52 PDT

Roland Mouret had just been named the new creative director of Robert Clergerie. Roland, who worked with Clergerie in his early fashion career, will create shoes and accessories for the French brand known for its chunky nouveau aesthetic. His designs for Robert Clergerie won't be revealed until later this year, but we hope it's going to include some of his signature sleek structural style as seen in his namesake line.

2011 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Roland Mouret

Hannah Weil — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 12:26:23 PST

We rely on Roland Mouret to deliver femininity and polish. For Fall '11 he succeeds in crafting a collection in the same vein, though this time, channeling a softer side in the form of easier silhouettes. Roland, too, opts for longer hemlines and shows nods to the '70s in furs, wide-leg trousers, and draped halter tops. But there are still the cinched waists and body-conscious details we expect, even in the design of jackets and coats, which too nip at the waist. It's a careful balance of what the modern femme craves - more structure, pants, and separates - and then, again something equally refined, but less structural, more movement and easy, womanly dressing. In the end, fan Victoria Beckham could find her cocktail dress just as easily as one with a taste for softer, subtler femininity could find hers.

Trends: Fur, slits, longer hemlines, draping, print.

Colors: Black, green, blue, burgundy, yellow-gold, soft tweed.

Key Looks: Yellow-gold double slit dress with black fur collar, deep-v full-length emerald green dress.

Accessories: T-strap heels, skinny black belts.

Who Would Wear It: Carey Mulligan and other girls with a taste for polished femininity; Mouret fans like Victoria Beckham.

Victoria Beckham Celebrates a Fashionable Anniversary With Friends

PopSugar — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:30:00 PDT

Victoria Beckham was among the stylish partiers out in London last night to honor 10 years in business for Net-A-Porter, which sells her Victoria Beckham Collection. Posh is back in London after celebrating a milestone of her own - she and David celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary with a weekend in the South of France. She traded her colorful Marc Jacobs dress for a short Miu Miu number yesterday, and made the rounds chatting with the company's founder Natalie Massenet and good friend and design accomplice Roland Mouret.

Celeb Style: Carey Mulligan

FabSugar — Fri, 14 May 2010 10:02:51 PDT

I've been wanting to do a Celeb Style on Carey - she is an upcoming fashion force. This navy and black look was perfect for the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps press conference at Cannes. Professional, polished, poised. It's all in the details here, from her suede and chiffon Fendi cutout sandals, to her double black leather belt, to the folds on her Roland Mouret sheath. If this is a nod to the new minimalism, I'm in.

Trend Alert: Icy Cool Frocks

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 15:00:22 PDT

Gwyneth, Carrie, Scarlett - megawatt style power. And they're all embracing Spring's array of icy cool frocks. With fashion on the cusp of returning to minimalism, these modern frocks feel so right. Gwyneth, in tailored smoky gray Victoria Beckham collection, brings life to her look via Georgina Goodman "Love" heels. Carrie is flirty and flashy in her plunging Rafael Cennamo party dress. And Scarlett is sophisticated in her curve-hugging Roland Mouret with sculptured sleeves. No, you don't have to be a beautiful blonde to wear one; yes, you will have this dress for years to come.

Celeb Style: Amanda Seyfried

We've had our eye on the beautiful Amanda Seyfried. Not only is she making a name for herself in the acting world, but she's also a fashion force to be reckoned with. Amanda attended the NYC premiere of Chloe looking bodaciously blue in a frock from the RM by Roland Mouret Beyonce-inspired Rainbow collection. A pair of black hoops, rock 'n' roll bracelets, and patent Brian Atwood peep-toes complete her fresh 'fit.

2010 Golden Globe Awards: Maggie Gyllenhaal

FabSugar — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 15:44:19 PST

Not many dare to wear pink on the red carpet, but Maggie Gyllenhaal did. The actress stood out in a silk salmon mermaid-cut Roland Mouret gown. I adore the delicate one-shoulder detail and artsy embellishments. Sleek diamond drop earrings and a matching bracelet by Bulgari complete her elegant look. Do you love it or hate it?
