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...
ReplyDeletei could see the inspiration. such a great movie!
ReplyDeletereminds 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
