Dunhill Spring/Summer 2016 Menswear "The formal clothing is so amazing, so striking—why not start with it?" John Ray asked backstage, post-show. This was Dunhill going for a knockout early in the match: Morning coats and top hats paraded out as soon as the audience had identified and smiled to the rave classic "Pacific State" by 808 ...
Rosetta Getty - Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Ready-To-Wear Let's play a game. Pretend there's a million dollars sitting in escrow somewhere, waiting to be awarded to the first person who can guess the starting point of Rosetta Getty's new collection. Spoiler alert: No one wins. After all, who on earth would have thought that her sprightly latest ...
Roland Mouret - Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Ready-To-Wear "To be a master of draping," purred Roland Mouret, "you have to be a slave to the fabric." This season Mouret said he worked slavishly—and in the case of look 13 alone, for several months—on achieving precisely the right balance between drape and fabric. This collection demanded such labor ...
Rodebjer - Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Ready-To-Wear Jet lag. Airport security. Sunburn and overpriced frozen daiquiris. Sure, travel to far-flung locales looks great on Instagram, but at the end of the day, who needs the hassle? No, Carin Rodebjer was definitely on to something with her new collection, which addressed the theme "staycation." Relaxing at home, taking ...
Rochas - Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Ready-To-Wear Alessandro Dell'Acqua has been at the helm of Rochas for more than a year now, but he has yet to assert his identity at the brand. This season, as in previous ones, the ghost of Marco Zanini continued to hover: He was present, notably, in the collection's eccentric take on ...
Reem Acra - Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Ready-To-Wear Resort is about "what the client wants and needs," Reem Acra said at a showroom appointment. This season that meant color, from cocktail dresses to eveningwear. "Happy colors!" Acra declared. To be sure, there was a rainbow of options, from the royal blue chiffon frock with swirling lace ruffles ...
Red Valentino - Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Ready-To-Wear After last season's dip into grunge, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli were eager to return Red Valentino to its roots. And so they went back to Swinging London. It makes more sense than it sounds when you consider that Valentino Garavani founded his label in Rome in 1959, ...
Rebecca Taylor - Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Ready-To-Wear With the word eclectic being thrown around with the same frequency as buy now, wear now this Resort season, it's good to be Rebecca Taylor. She has long been associated with a breezy, feminine aesthetic that's a bit thrown together, skewing neither too bohemian nor too formal. While other ...
Rebecca Minkoff - Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Ready-To-Wear If music has the power to move, it surely also has the power to move many to expand their wardrobes. Who among us hasn't looked longingly at a photo of some chanteuse and set out on a quest for a little piece of that ineffable something? It was Françoise ...
Ralph Lauren - Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Ready-To-Wear Boiled down to its essence, the Ralph Lauren Resort collection was about three things: khaki, combinations of black and white, and denim. But within each of those groupings there was a lot going on. In the khaki group, Lauren explored the equestrian motifs he's returned to time and again ...
Rag & Bone - Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Ready-To-Wear The Rag & Bone girl is not the type to ship off to Barbados for the winter, much as she might wish otherwise. Marcus Wainwright and David Neville's business at that time of year is strictly buy-now-wear-now, and with that in mind, they loaded up their new collection ...
Fendi - Pre Spring/Summer 2016 Ready-To-Wear After poking its scrawny neck out of the bags in Fendi's Fall show in Milan, the bird of paradise became the fierce ruling motif for Resort 2016. It's not a romantic flower, like the orchid that was Karl Lagerfeld's previous fleeting fancy at Fendi, but its hard-edged beauty was the ...
