The new collection by Rochas is so beautifully nostalgic, yet so quirky, that I can't quite wrap my mind around it. Here are the elements that I love about the collection:
- Ladylike sheer blouses with vintage-inspired brassieres peeking through.
- Floral belt accessories.
- Adorable, summery boater hats.
- Bright brocade.
- Rich shades of mustard and spice.
- Retro cat-eye shades!
Here are the elements that kind of have me freaked out {i.e. would look horrible on me}
- Flat sandals with ankle socks...yikes.
- Straight, shapeless dresses -- not great for curves.
- Knit swimsuit/onesies?
- Baggy, potato sack pants...again, bad for curves.
What do you think of the collection, dear readers?? Does it remind you a bit of the lovely Chinese film "In the Mood for Love"? The ensembles have a very 1960's Hong Kong vibe...

Kat -- I agree. I love the overall vibe, as well...but the sandals and socks look is just terrifying to me. Though, of course, the models pull it off with ease...
i could see the inspiration. such a great movie!
reminds me of jane march in the lover (i think?). talk about ankle socks. i think i can't pull them off too. i recall wearing them to school (with school shoes, of course). i'm not against socks with sandals. i'll try again. you should, too! :P
