Roland Mouret's back

For a moment there it looked as if Roland Mouret had done a disappearing act after his hat trick capsule collection for Gap. Apparently it was just the quiet before the storm. Hollywood 's favourite designer is returning to the world of high fashion with his own collection, RM, which will debut at the Paris couture shows in July. Mouret is launching the collection through 19RM, the joint venture company he formed with Simon Fuller, the founder of "Pop Idol" and the Spice girls. The rights to use his full name are now in hands of his former business partners.

The new collection consists of only 21 looks, made up of dresses, skirts, tops, trousers, jackets and coats and will hit stores in London , Paris and New York in November. "The idea of this satellite collection is for me to be able to express the most concentrated vision of my idea of dressing women, and to deliver that vision to them in the shortest time possible," Mouret said. According to WWD, the pricing of the label will be in line with brands like Lanvin, Balenciaga and Chanel.
