Discover Roland Mouret’s New-Season Eveningwear
Fusing impeccable draping with a refined femininity, the brand’s floor-skimming gowns and sculptural jumpsuits exude red-carpet appeal
For those in search of an impeccably cut gown, Roland Mouret has been a go-to for 25 years. Excelling at the kinds of pieces women wear to blockbuster events, this French-born, British-based brand is an unrivaled master of draping. Indeed, folding and pleating fabrics in an origami-esque fashion, the label’s signature look manages to not only be incredibly flattering but entirely effortless; at Mouret’s deft hand, fabric comes to life, skimming here, enhancing there, always celebrating the female form.
Today, Roland Mouret’s collections have evolved. Yes, the signature sublime cutting remains, but the aesthetic is a little sleeker; the lines a little sharper, with pieces offering a refined take on femininity that falls into step with a modern audience.
“As ever, it is the flawless attention to detail that sets these creations apart: a delicate pleat, an asymmetrical line, the precise fall of a hem – the sense is that these characteristics are instinctive and innate; original and yet entirely effortless
”
The SS24 collection is as impactful as ever; the beautifully cut line comprises everything from floor-sweeping gowns in soft-pastel tones to party-ready mini dresses and slick jumpsuits in a palette of nuanced tones, punctuated by FW23’s favorite hue: pillar-box red. Standout eveningwear has always been part of Mouret’s DNA, and this collection is no exception. As ever, it is the flawless attention to detail that sets these creations apart: a delicate pleat, an asymmetrical line, the precise fall of a hem – the sense is that these characteristics are instinctive and innate; original and yet entirely effortless.
The brand excels at riffs on timeless silhouettes, and a case in point is this long-sleeved maxi dress – its gathered bust detail and angular asymmetric neckline transforming the classic silhouette into an instant head-turner. Elsewhere, the neckline of a classic navy sheath cut in sleek satin crepe twists into a cutaway across the collarbone, floating over the shoulders into a feather-light cape that manages to feel modern while also evoking the golden era of a Hollywood starlet. Meanwhile, jumpsuits signal Mouret’s willingness to embrace a new era of femininity, with an asymmetric silk crepe design – exclusive to NET-A-PORTER – arriving in the same striking red shade that defines this collection.
Indeed, Mouret’s new designs retain the crisp origami folds and soft lines for which the brand is known, but they’ve taken on a contemporary, sculptural feel, offering silhouettes that signal strength. Accomplished and considered, each piece arrives with the sensual Parisian charm that put the designer on the map; Mouret has been a red-carpet favorite for almost three decades – and his latest line affirms it’s not a position he’ll be relinquishing anytime soon.
