Sure, there were plenty of the gala gowns and red carpet dresses that are Roland’s bread and butter, but, using Cy Twombly’s art as a jumping off point, most of the pieces received an abstract update. With intricate sequin designs covering bodices of goddess gowns and brushstrokes rendered on voluminous skirts, the art history vibe was strong.
A series of deconstructed grayscale prints with a chiaroscuro effect looked appealing, a dramatic crimson ruffled gown worthy of the red-dress emoji is sure to make the extroverts happy, and a smart black cocktail look covered in glittering fringe will prove universal, meaning it will attract her new fans and old. Though a segment dedicated to multicolored sequin–encrusted looks felt overwrought, the pieces that worked made up for it, and Roland left room at the end for the most important item—an It girl–approved little red suit.
