NYFW: Pamela Roland Fall 2011 Show

The line apparently was inspired by the “Far East,” but what we saw were fur-trimmed coats and capes and stretch-wool tux jackets for day. Then, bringing on the evening wear — a parade of muted dresses and gowns, many embroidered, fit the inspiration a bit more, especially the finale ensemble — a slightly ’80s maroon getup with a floor-length cinched-waist coat that ballooned out dramatically to reveal an underlay of flower print.A collection that was a bit non-cohesive, may I add, with overplayed pop song by the Black Eyed Peas’ “The Time of my Life” and Coldplay’s “Clocks” as the odd choices to accompany the super-mature garments, most of which seem to have been suited to a breed of women who probably don’t know who will.i.am is. A small detail of course, but I must say it did add some confusion to the collection.  What is your favorite piece from here? Check out the vid below.
