Roland Mouret RTW Fall 2023
Roland Mouret is on a roll to bring back the glamour.
His Fall 2023 collection is all about the dark side of Hollywood's Golden Age and he thinks it's something women are slowly rediscovering.
"The way we want to buy clothes must have an emotional attachment," said Mouret, who believes Hollywood over the past two years has become "more costumed" and its latest range is the antidote to outlandish shapes and color palettes.
Her remedy is simple little black dresses; elegant, waif evening wear with an attached belt; classic coordinates and suits, and the introduction of velvet, a new fabric in the Mouret universe.
"Velvet comes and goes in fashion and right now it has this intense power of elegance that takes you to so many reference periods, especially the 80s with Saint Laurent,” he added, explaining that the velvet he used throughout the collection has an elasticity that gives it a juxtaposition of elegance and relaxation.
This season is all about stepping out of the light and into dark comfort for Mouret.
"Not all parts of the world or all women want to wear the same colors. is about us [Mouret and his design team] adapting to the demand of what women want to have in their wardrobe,” he said.
The French designer predicts that the incoming glamor of his collection and those shown in Paris will be a lesson” for that we all understand where we come from.”
"What glamor doesn't just mean your body, it's the way you talk, the way you move and assert yourself in public life,” Mouret said.
The brand went into administration in 2021 and Mouret is slowly picking up the basics rather than jumping to the galaxies just now. Overall, the collection was like a shaky seesaw, sometimes rising to regal glamor and sometimes falling flat.
