Narciso Rodriguez Fall 2009 Collection






style.com has the goods:

"This season it's highlighter yellow and pink—somewhat challenging shades, but certainly timely—in stretch knit dresses with graphic cutouts or in silk overlaid with black lace. Even more unexpected were the black and white camouflage pieces accessorized with storm-trooper hats with slits for the models' eyes. As comments about the dangerous times we're living in, they made a sort of sense, even if they didn't really jibe with an aesthetic that is, above all, about cool, graphic minimalism."




That about sums it up. This was kind of a disappointing collection. Like so many others, he's working with blacks and neutrals and a couple pops of neon-esque color. To his credit, it doesn't come across as heavy and depressing as other collections did. On the other hand, there wasn't much of anything that really stood out to us, except that stormtrooper outfit and that felt like it was just for show. Not to mention it came across a little incongruous. The coats are nice and a couple of the dresses, but we really hate that bandaged look he used several times.

And another thing: we finally came around on the dark colored hose and now they're springing white on us? Sorry, but that looks way too "naughty nurse" to us.
