Oh and the peacock feathered suit was killer. See it, and our other favorite looks from backstage at the presentation, below.
An air of inclusivity permeated the space as models of all ages, backgrounds, and body types strutted the catwalk in Rose’s signature and updated silhouettes. From oversized suits and outerwear to floral cropped tank tops and boyfriend shirts, the collection offers a punk take on workwear without compromising wearability. What stood out the most, however, was Rose’s blending of feminine and masculine styles. A string of pearls is slung across a hoodie or tailored suit. Satin girdles are married with leather or nylon, reflective trousers and a rugged silhouette is offered in a pale pink hue and silky fabrics.
If Rose’s updated workwear signals anything, it’s that there’s a new uniform to place on our radar. And it calls for a bomber jacket lined completely with beer-bottle caps.
