Rachel Roy's presentation of her Spring 2009 collection set the springtime mood with hues of sweet cream, palm prints, and the occasional heart adornment. The collection is far more modern than her usual mommy-type ensembles. However, she still pulls the ladylike card from last season, although playing it with a new idea of shape. Doing so makes her silhouettes significantly more interesting. I loved the leather studded skirt and her white leopard Manolos. Although, I must say some of the styling just really didn't work. A clunky elastic heel doesn't go with everything.
My favorite look is pictured above. The shape is such a departure for Rachel, yet her overall aesthetic is still apparent. The metallic underlay looks very Rachel, but the detachable black lace adorned tulip skirt is a step in a very needed new direction. Still not a standout, but Roy keeps us intrigued.
