my style icon

August 9, 2006

more visible in the ny social scene, rachel roy has emerged as my own personal style icon. her style is young, fresh, quirky, bold yet charming and fun. her design line bearing her name is a true testament to her fashion flair and panache.

  2. I adore Rachel Roy! She definitely has great style. I know a lot of people don’t seem to like her because of the whole Rachel/Damon/Aaliyah thing but who cares? The woman’s got style!

    WWND : see, i didn’t even know about the aaliyah issue. notice i stayed away from mentioning who she’s married to. i just admire her great style!

  3. she carries herself well and exudes elegance. it’s great that she has come out with her own clothing line!

    SHOPDIARY : yeah, i’m loving all her stuff. they’re kind of price-y though. i can only get them at nordy’s here, limited selection pa.

  4. i just saw her collection and all i can say is WOW! they are gorgeous! did she design them? hehehe. i guess i’m saying that coz she came from rocawear. but then with this line, it’s more reflective of her image and style.

    SHOPDIARY : i’m guessing she has a creative team but i’m pretty sure she has the last say!

  5. Did you know that in the beginning, pre “Rachel Roy” label days, she told Damon Dash she wanted to start a higher end Rocawear (since he’s the CEO of RW), but Damon saw it as its “own,” and definitely not Rocawear. He thought since her clothing is too sophisticated looking for it to be RW, she should start her own line. That’s when a new brand was established.

    CHARISSE : yeah, she’s been with rocawear for awhile. i’m really liking what she’s created so far with rachel roy. step aside, kimora lee!

  6. KLS cannot compare to RR!

    SHOPDIARY : right on!

  7. Can’t even mention KLS and RR the same breath! RR has much gentler, softer presence. Though it was mentioned above that according to Página Seis DD cats around on her like the jerk that he must be. Sad.

    We think RR is just very, very elegant, too.

    SUSANNA : i have a feeling she’ll do just fine without him!

  8. i saw a gorgeous RR dress in the window of bergdorf’s. i like her style, but just curious-why isn’t she rockin her wedding ring in most of the pics?
