Wonderful!!
Oh my....can you say "Russian peasant"?
Photo #1 reminds me of the image you posted of the Mennonite girls from central Pennsylvania. What an interesting reference (intentional or otherwise).

wondering if a certain designer spent some time in northern ohio, perhaps in amish country?
These are beautiful photographs.
I love the print in the first image and the shapes in photos 2 and 4.

horrible
Sorry, but thems some ugly duds.
Inspired by Amish girls?
I'm really not a fan of the clothes (they're too granny for my taste) but the makeup is amazing.
So pretty!! Love it!

these ladies look like they are from a different planet.
really cool!

Peasant is IN THE HOUSE!
The second photo from the top makes me feel kinda funny...
So far my favorite show. I was freaking out when I saw it. Soooo crazy beautiful.
those glasses r soo cool

I can't say i love this collection. I understand the prevalent men's wear trend, however, these women look frumpy!!!
great collection, love the patterns
;)
Love the eyeshadows! But latest in POW couture?
love the bathing suit, but the rest seems a slave to the oversized trend in a heavy way
Loving that floral swimsuit!

i have never seen blue eyeshadow look so beautiful!
I suspect all his talent will not be enough to keep Mr. Zanini at his post for long.
plain awfull...unflattering swedish "hausfrau" look..
I agree with the comment that this seems a heavy handed way of the oversized trend.
I live in the heart of Amish Country in Pennsylvania, and these designs are quite similar to those of the Amish. It is neither flattering on the Amish, nor flattering on the runway. Especially in look 1 and 5
That floral bathing suit is amazing. Love the purple.

the eye makeup is lovely! i love that indigo blue especially on the 3rd photo.
Seems like i'm not the only one who doesn't understand the concept. But if you try to focus... some lines made by the garment... are quite nice. Look the waist in that black skirt. Make-up is nice too, but may be a little disconnected from the rest of the elements. Anyway, to me, the collection shouts "crisis" and not in a japanese way.
Study your color theory, you shall go far.
So says Rochas!
Also, the patterns are unbelievably wonderful. Thanks for the photos, sir!
Early 90's?
some girls look like from Robbie Williams clip "sin sin sin":)
I go to school in Lancaster Pennsylvania right now, and its funny to see women in bonnets and long black dresses as runway fashion!
I see little old amish/mennonite ladies pushing laundry carts down the street, dressed exactly the same way!
I guess the folks at Rochas took a trip to Lancaster...or just looked at your photos from a few months back, eh Sart ;)
That round shades are epic! LOL. xxx
http://cestlamademoiselle.blogspot.com
Wow! This is an amazing collection by Rochas. I love the black tights and forties gray ankle-strap platforms.
http://retronative.blogspot.com
Hmmm.No iToo stern.t doesn't work.any of it.
frumptastic.
Are we back to pilgrim fashion now?
I do like the print in the first photo.
Love all of these! Especially the really rounded sunglasses and the floral bathing suit (?) xxx
http://reallyliteral.blogspot.com/
Meh. These are not so great.
I love the blue eye shadow. Incredible.
If these clothes can make the female elite look so goddam awful what hope the rest of us just horrible.
Love

far from being frumpy these are actually very elegant and charming.
It's good to see that Rochas now has got its mojo back! The collection is great: fantastic use of colours, clean cuts... Is Olivier Theyskens still at the helm?
http://davidikus.blogspot.com/
Horrid.
Superb post....
fantastic collection!!! amazing photos
Very different but very well put!!! I really like them !!!!!
Love the floral bathing suit but couldn't they have put it on a girl with curves? It looks all wrong on her - though worse are the bad, bad fake tan lines around her armpits. Think the make-up is fantastic but doesn't work with everything else. And everything else - well, an interesting concept but I think for wearability all I could take from this would be the beautiful silk headscarves and some of the mismatched print ideas (which are beautiful, especially in the first picture). Those skirt lengths do NOTHING for a lady with real legs. How did he manage to make giraffe-like models look frumpy? (Oh, and shoes/skirt combo in the last pic remind me of the how at 14 I insisted on wearing grungy Doc Martens with my navy school skirt. My mother was right, it was BAAAAD.)
prettiest & strangest collection so far out of the whole lot (ny/milan/paris) ..like clothes from a dressing up box in the attic of the collective european memory..takes spirit to dress like this...
I just looove the prints on the first two photos and can't stop looking at the eye makeup!
This is not "cool" clothes, this is FASHION
wow Amish meet Babushka dolls and live happy ever after! Pretty prints!
They all look like not-so-pleasant peasants. Just frumpy and dumpy. Who on earth is going to wear this? I do quite like the sunglasses, but I'll stick to my vintage Emannuelle Kahns, thank you.............
I agree with who said this designer will be soon replaced.
This makeup is just amazing, and I love the glasses! The colours are really beautiful but im not sure i like the first look..
the colors!!!
The shoes you're showing us from these collections are the most wearable, delicious shoes in years. Most women (well, I can't) walk in those towering spiky heels - but these shoes allow you to have some height without risking a fracture. I also love the inclusion of flats.
Have you seen the flats that Armani is showing? They give the line and length to the ankle and leg as a heel but they're flats. Quite brilliant and so practical. Maybe women finally do control their fashion destiny.
Much love to you Mr. S.
l'age moyen
Make up & sunglasses...Beautiful!!
I also spent some of my childhood in "Pennsylvania Dutch" country and that's exactly what leaped to mind when I saw these get-ups. Is this a joke?
"Where's The Beef?" Remember the commercial from the 80"s that had the Soviet fashion show? Sorry, but this kind of reminds me of a time when we were a bit too stark. I'm not fond of this show.
I saw this on style.com and thought it was horrible and dowdy...how is it that your pictures make it cool and feminine!?! Scott you are such a talent. Maybe its your aura....
longer hemlines, more grounded shoes, a hint toward shorter hair.
something 'old world' and literally retro about this collection.
found the round sunglasses with the high bridge interesting.
not a collection that made me dream.
Tim Gunn wouldn't let this ulgy stuff out of the workroom.
Extremely well-made, high-quality clothing is always a pleasure to look at, regardless of style, of whether it flatters.
Perhaps this collection intentionally defies beauty--although, to me, that's a bit unfortunate.
Maybe this is a good time to suggest to the poor models the old advice that "if you smile you will be beautiful"?
I really liked Rochas in the past but what's up with this collection?
The eyeglasses remind me of La Jeteé
Quick! Take me back to Jil Sander!!!
*running fast out of this room*
Ha-ha...nothing here appeals to me in the least...well, maybe the romper but only as underwear. Otherwise, can we look any frumpier?
My God are these women beautiful.I don't think you have to be as thin as them..but even with a few extra ponds these women would be drop dead beautiful.The eyes,and their facial expressions are what I find most unique.
Stunning eye makeup.

I love it! Far from Amish or Russian peasant, I was reminded of libertine British 1920's artists and authors. The headscarves and the glasses in particular. All they need are Isadora Duncan scarves and they can ride around the countryside in roadsters.
I feel like if an Amish girl were to experience the cliche angel on one shoulder devil on the other, this would for sure be the Amish devil, a fan of MGMT and possibly Dr. Strangelove
the 3erd girl is soooooooo cute
lovely glasses
http://coolneeded.blogspot.com
Love the black outfit!!!
@ kukla; it can't be named FASHION only because is labeled Rochas.
Fashion is much more than that.fashion can't exist only in the world of conceptualism. when concepts materializes they must be desirable, wearable and in the case of fashion it MUST be commercial as well, its how the designer get paid... he is not an artist who sells ONE piece.
i need those sunglasses!
it's exactly the frumpy-ness that i love.
Beautiful, beautiful Rochas. I loved the iris print dresses and full swimsuits.

Someone's been a little too inspired by BIG LOVE.
www.jrocomedy.blogspot.com
Oh dear. I can't say I enjoy most of these. The print in the first fabric looks like a Mary Engelbreit calendar. And the rest seems Amish-inspired. Although the silhouette of the bathing suit (?) is really sweet. It gives her a good sense of curves. Do love the makeup.
Yikes! There is really very little else to say. This will do nothing at all for the everyday woman.
Sorry, this collection doesn't do it for me at all. Quite honestly, I don't want to wear clothes influenced by this direction at all.
Love the makeup, HATE the clothes.
Nice! The print is Swedish folk art, Kurbits painting. From a little village outside of Leksand called Ullvi.
http://www.ullvi.se/bilder/ullvimalare/index.html
The people in Dalarna loooove their kurbits so much that you can even find coloring books and tattoos (mostly the flowers) in this style. I lived in Leksand for two years and that area is really something special...
I really do hope that he made scarves in the same style, otherwise I'll have to learn how to paint kurbits :S.
/Sara from Sweden (yes, we swedish girls do love our bikes!)
Wow! I really love your blog. I have bookmarked this page so I can come back again to check it out. I love information Silhouette Rimless Eyeglasses, I collect them. I just hope you keep up the good work.
Looking good catwalk
love the final photo... nun chic!
Feels like Russian influence to me...but not the opulance of winter finery, rather soviet era head coverings of the working gals. not the makeup though.
Why does it scream Amish with a little bit of late 80s/early 90s print.
nice....
they're really2 hot...
cool
