Aside from the unappealing distraction of the models' black lips, an obvious emulation of YSL 08, we loved Rachel Roy's well cut and comfortly chic collection. Black and gray were balanced out by the soft colors of blush, pale yellow and slate blue which came in column dresses, flannel suits, wool jackets, cigarette pants and peplum bustiers. The cut-out trend was visible in several of the slim body conscious dresses making this collection a nice departure from her usual puffs and poufs.
