Rachel Roy’s collection presentation was held at 22 West 18th Street, in NYC. Rachel Roy’s fall attitude? Power through it. She filled her presentation with an “army” of elegant women, their ammunition: chic. Though she could have done without the uniform wigs and black lips à la Saint Laurent last fall, Roy kept her message crystal clear via monochromatic looks in a cool palette of ivory, pale yellow, ice blue, gray and black and a single marble print. The calm colors felt modern and were paired with sharp architectural touches — peaked shoulders and cutout dresses — for a quiet confidence. And while the clothes were about strength and power, there was no shortage of sex appeal, as in bustier tops and lingerie layered under sheer pieces for a peekaboo effect, revealing a woman’s softer side.
