Rochas Gets Groovy

You may remember Marco Zanini as the guy who got fired from Halston after one collection. Or, you may remember Marco Zanini as the guy that did a Rochas installation piece and brought interest back to the house after Oliver Theyskens left for Nina Ricci.



Zanini's ready-to-wear for Rochas is pretty groovy, if you ask me. From the hair and makeup to the clothing, you should get ready for a time warp. A fun time warp, that is. Grab your elongated, pointed shirt collars, and let's go!



As seen through these weeks of fashion, metallics (gold in this case) and animal prints are in. Zanini added bow details to many of the pieces. Not cutesy. Think a bow for a wrapped gift, but pinned onto waists and collars. This small accessory can take your dress from last season and update it quickly. Try the bow with coat collars and pant waistlines as well.



Rochas was not all black, gray, military green and navy, like so many of the other collections. Throw in some teal, bright red and peach. These brighter colors were solids, whereas the browns and gold metallics had texture and pattern to them.



How easy is it to get a solid teal shift dress and pin a bow onto the waistline? You can do this! Just don't forget to tease your hair before going out. And grab a framed purse with handles. Oh, and wear some flat boots. Maybe grab that leopard print reversible scarf from Dries van Noten, too!
