RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Stéphane Rolland Couture A/W 2013

Tuxedo Couture: Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/2014

Drama Bride: Spanish Supermodel Nieves Álvarez in the Finale of Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/2014 runway show

The Look: French fashion designer Stéphane Rolland showed his Fall/Winter Haute Couture collection in Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week last week. The collection was mostly black and white with some navy thrown in for good measure. Rolland continued his trademark architectural/sculptural shapes throughout. There was an underlying theme of a "Tuxedo Jacket" as the trampoline to give him inspiration; inspiration for creating exaggerated shawl collars, half-jackets, grand notched collars, as well as a folded and pleated luxe "tuxedo shirt" worn by his star model and muse for this collection: 39 year-old 5' 10 1/2" tall Spanish supermodel--and "Hola!" magazine darling, Nieves Álvarez. Nieves opened and finished the show.

Rolland Muse: Nieves Álvarez also wore one of his designs at the Goya Cinema Awards 2013 (the Spanish Oscars) back in February. All this, I assure you, will guarantee Monsieur Stéphane Rolland the cover of the next Alta Costura edition of "Hola!" magazine for sure!
