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...
