For the past several seasons, Rachel Roy has opted to present her collection in the showroom a block away from Bryant Park that she shared with ex-husband Damon Dash. For spring 2010, Roy -- who also launched a more affordable diffusion line currently being sold at Macy's -- staged a production in Manhattan's west side Cedar Lake dance studios. The collection reflected her signature attention to slouchy chic and elegant draping. With '80s references punctuating most designers' spring 2010 lines, Roy told us she is not about trend chasing. You have to wear what works for you. Speaking of, does this collection work for you?
“Well, I, uh - I read in The New York Times this week that I'm an ice queen, I'm the Sun King, I'm an alien fleeing from District 9 and I'm a dominatrix. So I reckon that makes me a lukewarm royalty with a whip from outer space.”
