Roland Mouret’s new collection was more winter than fall in several ways. The most obvious clue was the color palette. There were no bright reds or
mustard yellows that we’ve been used to seeing on the runways lately. Instead, Mouret
used pale blues, icey grays, black, and white. A soft, pale green was the
boldest color in the collection.
Winter was the inspiration for the
collection; a Parisian winter, to be exact. In 1947, Paris experienced an extremely harsh winter. About the connection between his clothes and Paris in 1947, Roland Mouret told WWD, “There was a sense of
contradiction between a new rising elegance, an haute couture attitude whilst
others struggled to keep warm.”
The collection mostly comprised of suits and dresses. The
clothes featured the form-fitting shapes that Mouret is known for, including A-line skirts, origami-styled
twists, furs, and skinny belts on the waist. Mouret used folding and layering to
serve as “a protective layer” around the models.
