Narciso Rodriguez
Designer: Narciso Rodriguez

• “Was it you who inspired Narciso Rodriguez’s fall collection? Rodriguez saw two women–not dressed particularly fancy or fashion forward–who crossed each other on the street one day at just the right moment of a winter solstice. The colors and shapes he saw were inspiring; luckily, he said, he had one of his trusty cameras in hand and captured it.” [AP]
• “It’s a truism of fashion that everything comes back into style eventually, and it seems right now that ’90s minimalism is (finally!) getting its due. Jil is back in charge at Jil Sander, Raf is manning the fort at Dior, and Narciso—New York’s great minimalist—is on top of his game.” [Daily Front Row]
• “Slim cigarette pants, architectural tunics, and flattering dresses displayed his mastery with colorblocking, intricate pattern piecing, and origami-esque folds.” [FabSugar]
• “People arrived at Narciso Rodriguez’s show still debating how much influence John Galliano had in Oscar de la Renta’s collection, and marveling at the draped suits and capes. But Mr. Rodriguez had no difficulty changing the subject. The majority of styles in this impressive follow-up to last season’s sensational show played on geometrical shapes, specifically the triangle.” [On The Runway/The New York Times]
• “It was raves all around after Narciso Rodriguez’s show tonight. The designer has been going from success to success lately, but this collection really got the blood pumping.” [Style.com]
• “Rodriguez smartly engaged his strong understanding of color and combined pieces in navy, magenta, and a sort of matte tangerine. The overall look was typically streamlined, if not as restricted as he’s shown in the past.” [Vogue.com]
• “Rodriguez does minimal and simple but he doesn’t do stark–his look is one of elegance and wearability that comes with a warmth.” [Vogue.com UK]
