Rachel Roy Fall 2011

The early morning backstage scene was certainly a bit of a frenzied one, with Bobbi Brown herself putting the finishing touches on makeup while being interviewed for The Today Show, Ted Gibson checking hair, and the models rapidly lining up for the collection's photos prior to the presentation. For Fall 2011 Rachel Roy once again continued with her capsule collection of trench coats, this time done in denim instead of khaki fabric, and so meticulously draped, cut, and worked, that one had to do a double-take to realize that the material at hand really was the traditional workman's fabric of denim. Found in eight different styles, some of the descriptions for the fabrication used fanciful words such as "Japenese denim," "laquered denim" and "raw cut pleated denim."

Rachel talked about the hustle and bustle of life, and how as she has become increasingly busy, how effortless chic, i.e. trench coats and this collection, just felt right, for the woman on the go. Intarsia knits, ruffled cardigans, charmeuse dresses, and peplum jackets are certainly strong pieces to live on their own, and work other basics, existing in the wardrobe already, into the look. Kudos to Rachel Roy, for understanding her customer, and instead of catering to the season's trends, listening to what she really needs.

Get Entrenched for Spring 2011

In a collection displayed on both mannequins and live models, Rachel Roy showed a lineup of largely upbeat-hued wovens. Some silk, sateen, and metallic threads worked their way into a very wearable collection, with some of the jewel-toned garments being shown in monochromatic styling. Roy dedicated nine pieces for Spring 2011 on the trenchcoat, which can be worn both as over coats and as dresses. With an eye for feminine detailing and precise cuts, Roy artfully placed strings, buttons, larger than life ruffles, belts, epaulets, and rouched sleeves on the trench coats, all in the traditional khaki hue. After viewing the collection, there was just one thing on my mind: "Do I really have wait until Spring 2011 to get one of these trenches?"

Rachel Roy's Nomadic Adventure for Fall 2010

Julia was able to capture a few shots from behind the scenes at Rachel Roy, one of our favorite designers. Roy's fall collection was inspired by nomadic adventures of North Africa and their colorful spice markets, mosaic tapestry florals and Moraccan military details.
