I can’t take my eyes off the Aspre sheath dress from RM by Roland Mouret.<\/p>\n

\"Available<\/a>

Available at Bergdorf Goodman<\/p><\/div>\n

I have two Roland Mouret pieces. The first is a skirt from his original namesake line. He quit designing that line in 2005<\/a> due to differences with the company owners, who then retained the rights to his name. That’s the big drawback to having investors. Jil Sander<\/a> knows all about that. Anyway, when I first saw this skirt with the deconstructed flounce at the bottom, I thought, “That’s very weird and kind of ugly … I love it!”<\/p>\n

\"Wearing<\/a>

Wearing my Mouret skirt at GeorgeB's birthday dinner.<\/p><\/div>\n

The last time I wore it, a woman I know said, “That’s an interesting skirt.” I said, “Thank you” before realizing that wasn’t necessarily a compliment. Humph. Well, not everyone has great taste like me<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This summer I got a dress from the newer RM by Roland Mouret line. I call this my “sex-ay military nurse dress.” I don’t have a full length picture, but the dress is longer than knee-length, quite tight and has the kind of neckline that caused a friend’s teenage boys to describe me as “the one with the boobs and lipstick.”<\/p>\n

\"You

You get the idea.<\/p><\/div>\n

The construction of both pieces is amazing — his designs really hold you in. Thanks to that, I don’t feel the need to wear a Spank underneath<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I’ve been dying to know how involved Mouret is in Victoria Beckham’s clothing line. According to Beckham’s reps<\/a>, Mouret merely introduced her to a few people and then happily congratulated her on her success “designing” clothes that look a hell of a lot like his. If that’s true, he’s stupidly generous. I hope that he’s actually getting tons of money to do her designs on the down-low. That would be a clever way to finance his own line, and I definitely want to see him stay in business. I love his style, but I’m only going to be buying it from Mouret himself, not Posh Spice.<\/p>\n
