First Look: Rachel Roy (Plus a Little Manolo)

rachel roy pull.JPGWe just got back from the Rachel Roy presentation at Frank Gehry’s IAC building - and we have to say, we were impressed. The clothes were a bit of a departure for the mommy designer, and it totally worked - think studded leather skirts, little heart purses, every kind of silhouette there is, a very Stella jumpsuit, plenty of attention for the back - and killer shoes Rachel designed for Manolo.

Also of note: we’re now two for two in shows with a very diverse cast of girls. Early coincidence or an indication of the following week?

And now, some I Spy:

- Meredith Melling-Burke in stilettos, snapping away on her digital camera

-Virginia Smith wearing a gauzy, gray sweatshirt like it’s YSL

-The Dior/Carrie shoes paired with a yellow pedicure

-Linda Fargo wearing the sparkly necklace Serena wore as a headband as an actual necklace

-Rachel Roy sporting an Obama Rocks pin on her hip

-Prada lace, in person

-Some wannabe Prada lace, in person

-Sessilee Lopez, stunning, in person

Back soon - with Trovata, Lorick and GenArt…

The looks are not totally boring and some of them are actually cool. As to the shoes, LOVE, but cannot imagine running about town in them. They're the kind of shoes (save for the sandals) that you wear when you know all the walking you'll be doing is in and out of limos and at fancy parties.

Wow, the shoes.. i can't even look at anything else. The black/white ones, and the ones with the pink heel, gorgeous! All the girls look great though.

Wow, prior to seeing this, I completely hated Roy. I just hope she continues to design like this.

Yes I was wondering the same - didn't Blahnik design the shoes for Roy and not vice versa? I do have to say - I am loving the shoes! And LOL at the wannabe Prada lace!
