It was bonne chance that a big sale on fabric was happening for designer Stéphane Rolland, as his imagination required a minimum of 12 meters per dress for this exercise in draping! With extended trains, asymmetric lines, and a hint of Erté meets "Mars Attacks" it is an interesting collection to say the least. There are hits and misses; the drapery rod dress harkens back to an old Carol Burnett spoof of Scarlett O'Hara, the gold lamé cropped Members Only jacket is just a fashion disaster waiting to happen, and the problems with putting a train in front of a dress instead of behind it became obvious with one wardrobe malfunction and several near nose dives. Rolland hits the mark however, with his avant garde sensibilities and fearlessness - if I was searching for a red carpet look I would want one or two of these dresses as options for sure! Fashion must have for Spring: a long, flowing skirt in soft silk or chiffon
