Tuesday, September 11: Narciso Rodriguez
Designer: Narciso Rodriguez

• “From the triangular cleavage cutouts to the plunging V-necklines, Narciso Rodriguez made his point with pointed shapes.” (The Associated Press}
• “Narciso Rodriguez wowed us today with a masterful collection for Spring ’13, concentrating on fluid shapes and bold colors.” {FabSugar}
• “When Narciso Rodriguez said his Spring 2013 show would start at 8 pm Tuesday night, he meant it. … Perhaps that urgency stemmed from all the new statements Rodriguez had to make with this show.” {fashionologie}
• “The evolution was in decoration, as the designer used laminated wood beads to create abstract floral patterns, giving rich texture to streamlined shapes.” {International Herald Tribune}
• “Narciso Rodriguez started out as a minimalist designer 15 years ago, became known as a sublime colorist over the last several years and now, after showing his spring collection tonight, can henceforth be known simply as the master.” {On The Runway/The New York Times}
• “Satisfying both a woman’s wardrobe needs and a man’s eye, that’s the whole package. And that’s why this was the most successful lineup of Rodriguez’s career.” {Style.com}
• “What happens when the two-dimensional—that would be a plane of fabric—and the three-dimensional–that would be you–collide? That is, of course, the story of fashion, and claiming a sizeable chapter in this tale this season is Narciso Rodriguez.” {Vogue.com}
• “Rodriguez reduced his work back to its core: linear, geometric shapes and a shrewd eye for colour. From his languorous, breezy dresses to his unstructured, airy tailoring, there was a feeling of lightness and nonchalance–the ideal proposal for spring.” {Vogue.com UK}
• “A beautiful collection of spare silhouettes, exquisite cuts and colorful graphics that, while arty, were executed with a perfect sense of control.” {WWD}
