Collaboration Alert

Another hot newly unveiled collaboration has come to light and this time it is between designer Roland Mouret for Banana Republic. It is believed that the designer is to design a 25 piece collection made up of skirts, tops, trousers and dresses. The dresses are thought to be being priced at $165 a fraction of the designers own label costs so I'm with the rest of the fashion community in thinking these are going to go very quickly! The pieces are set to be in stores in August. Again I have not seen any visuals to be able to share them with you so like my H&M news piece I will show you my top three of both Roland Mouret's collection and of Banana Republic new arrivals. Lets start off this time with Banana Republic . . .

For number one we have this rather cool gingham trench jacket, a nice modern twist on this classic shape. With nice details like buttoned epaulettes, notch collar, double breasted front and tie belt why wouldn't you, in keeping with the traditional style it is nice to see it updated. Love the choice of fabrics too! Number two we have this pretty fabulous necklace,  featuring glass stones in a delicate combination and is finished off with a navy ribbon tie. A stunning piece perfect for day to night looks. Finally number three we have this pretty cool dress, with an eyelet overlay over this red base this is a very edgy piece from Banana Republic. Cut in a skater style this is a great piece for the younger Banana Republic fan. A party dress for all ooccasions.

Now moving on to Roland Mouret . . .

For my number one position I chose this pretty amazing LBD, Roland Mouret is synonymous for his dresses and I feel this dress is without exception. This stunning figure hugging dress really is something pretty special. Cut from stretch crepe this dress has been sharply tailored to give any lady an hour glass figure. I especially love the folded detail on the top of the dress and also the cut out back which adds a little bit more sex appeal, and will show off the wearers body to a T. Moving onto number two we have this rather awesome skirt. Made in white silk crepe, oozing luxury, this skirt features colourful geometric panels in glossy PVC and neoprene fabrics in black, magenta and green. Needless to say there is severe 80's feeling about this piece but I just kind of love it for its garishness. You have to wear this piece with confidence! Finally onto a Little White Dress again a stunning silhouette has been created in this piece, really showing off and maximising the wearers natural curves. This dress again in crepe fabric has black grosgrain straps which give a nice contrast to the front of the dress. The back again is a cut out, but also this time has a back slit to provide ease of movement for the wearer. I just love the bodice detailing again it looks like folds of fabric and reminds me a little bit of origami.

Will you be buying this collection when it is released?
