Town & Runway *hearts* Rachel Roy

Always one to bring a unique perspective to the art of design, Rachel Roy shows her Fall 08/09 collection. It's a rich presentation of burnt umber and sienna hues against a neutral backdrop of cream with touches of camel. With undeniable touches of Native American flair with the poncho inspired dresses and feather necklaces (the new cocktail jewelry?), the collection is sure to be a standout among the shows this fall. That's one reason I always look forward to Miss Roy's collection. No copy-catting here.

Rachel Roy's trademark jacket/coat ensemble with a ruffled neckline and ornate jewelry.


Perhaps Park Ave socials will trade their pearls for feathers?


I'm not a fan of the Quaker-style hat, but the combination of grey-black textured fabric with the luxe umber satin makes a stunning contrast.

This dress is simple glamour at it's best. The essence lies within the color, fabulous gloves and feather neckpiece. Can't you just see Dita von Teese wearing this? Rachel, have your people call Dita's people. . .

Lovely use of complimentary colors with the orange, silver and white.

I must say I'm loving the gloves in this collection. It will be interesting to see what other collections incorporate 8 button gloves.
