Lisa sent me a link to this designer, Rozae Nichols, and, frankly, Ms. Nichols had me at this dress. So pretty, without being too girlish. (Not sure how I feel about the knee socks and platform mary jane shoes, but I have almost perfected my technique of being able to ignore all the accessories sent down the runway, and concentrate solely on The Dress.)
I love the dotted fabric, and the fact that it’s lined. Personally, I’d like shorter sleeves, but this is for fall 2007, so perhaps a more summery version would hit above the elbow. I think a summer version with flutter sleeves would be lovely.
Of course, the only fly in the ointment is that her site is hugely flash-heavy. Why is it that designers feel they have to make their sites into largely unnavigable mini-movies? Is it a control issue? Do they all have family members in the employ of Adobe? Do they just not spend very much time using a computer? What is it?
She also seems to have three other lines: the drapey rnconvertible, the more youthful A common Thread, and the as-yet linkless Aquarius line, which is supposedly more vintage-inspired. I also liked the common thread clothes, although they’re a little too Williamsburg for me, if you know what I mean. I can’t rock that “long hair and short baggy dress with floppy neck bow” aesthetic, although I think it’s lovely on other people … worth checking out, though, because what I saw had gorgeous details.
Thanks, Lisa!
