Rachel Roy
REVIEW
NEW YORK, November 30, 2011
By Brittany Adams
Rachel Roy has been busy putting the finishing touches on a renovated showroom, which she's modeled after a pre-war Parisian apartment. She's filled the open and airy space with gritty concrete sculptures of the female form by New York-based artist Jo-Ann Brody. Brody's pieces inspired Roy's new pre-fall collection, as did the work of Louise Bourgeois and the Art Deco-era sensation Tamara de Lempicka. The common thread tying together all three influences is the idea of "strong, badass women doing what they loved in a time when that was difficult," Roy said. "It's my favorite era—the hair got shorter, clothes got looser, and people embraced a more masculine edge."
