You have to be in good shape for Roland Mouret`s designs
as his limited-edition collection that hit Banana Republic today, features figure-skimming
skirts and hourglass dresses.
I did try this slim-fitted skirt, so characteristic of the celebrated
Frenchman`s genius, who made his name with the Galaxy dress in Spring/Summer2006
season.
It fitted well thanks to their sizing that starts at 0, but I
reminded myself I owned several black pencil-skirts, which I don`t wear (!) - I
mainly wear dresses - so acquiring yet another black miniskirt, wouldn`t be the
smartest thing to do. I very quickly gave it back and almost run out of the
shop, not wanting to change my mind. I like the fabric, and its intricate
pattern, and the garment is well made. I
am wearing a dress by Melissa Odabash, sandals from Michael Kors, and
sunglasses by Dolce & Gabbana.
One shouldered styles and geometric colour-combos were
particularly popular, but these simple silhouettes in black are elegant and
modern.
The clothes are priced below £100, with
dresses almost reaching that number, and skirts and tops, coming at around
£60. This is a well-priced, and competently-designed
collection; a perfect capsule wardrobe for an office-based fashionista.
