Paris Fashion Week: Day 3

Roland Mouret is not a label that will propose an exciting new movement in fashion. But not every designer needs to chart of path of distinctiveness, sometimes it's about knowing what works, who the customer is and what flatters a women's body. And that applies to Mouret. Best known for his dresses, this season's presentation may not have the complexity of Rick Owens or fluidity of Dries van Noten, but they deserve their own recognition. The show opened with a coat and skirt in a double sided print, but it wasn't until the 6th look when evidence of Mouret's expert cutting came to life in a lilac front fold skirt and panelled 3/4 sleeve top. The majority of dresses were sleeveless or had fitted, strappy bodices that exposed sheer, textured knits underneath, confirming the sporty and wearability of the collection.
