By Stephane Rolland
This was a stronger collection for Stephane Rolland than in several seasons. He had men on the runway --I wish more designers would incorporate this obvious great addition. The hallmarks of the collection were the sumptuous Indian beading on gowns. I sat with a young designer from Bombay, and she gasped with delight when one particularly extravagant gown appeared. She said it was an Indian wedding dress. The men wore ensembles that resembled matadors, gangsters and other archtypical male figures. I asked myself a few times what man might have the courage to wear such daring clothes. Maybe Brad Pitt? I thought a little hopefully. Stephane Rolland is awesome looking, and could be his own men’s collection’s strongest image
