Walking in to the beat of Kris Bone’s music, I turned and saw this Red Wool Free Form Scarf Coat and I instinctively walked right up to it and stopped. Think about that moment you are trounced with an intense attraction, everything around stops, and then you go in for the kill. As that red coat called me, it suddenly became apparent to others around that I was oblivious since I was now one with the lights, the models and the Rochambeau Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection.
Staged at the Standard Hotel’s Highline Ballroom, Rochambeau ceased to exist within the confines of everyday rhythms or commercial style. Compared to most of the men’s fashion this season, what I liked most was the distinct perspective. The clothes emitted a swagger rich with deconstruction, asymmetrical cuts that were bold and colorful. Not only were the design’s imaginative, ultramodern and chic but they wearable and varied.
Special mention must be made to the Styling brain of Sean Spellman, from Tim Howard Management, and his commitment to a thrilling presentation of the designer’s futuristic novelty. As I exited the room, I imagined that the Free Form Beige Scarf Jacket with the Yellow Jersey Top, the Distressed Camo Green Shawl Coat, the Tan Faux Lapel Cotton Twill Blazer with the Red Slim Fit Cotton Trouser, and the Sleeve Olive Cotton Button Up were all shouting my name.
Cheers to an ingenious collection Rochambeau. I look forward to my stroll in the Meatpacking wearing my Red Rochambeau Wool Coat this autumn.
