Red Alert, Fashionistas. This is a Dress Like the Duchess special reminder! Today is the day. Banana Republic is releasing their Roland Mouret line. Someone over there is one smart cookie, that is all I can say. I already love Banana Republic in general, but who can resist a little royal Repli-Kate every now and again? I made a special trip to check out their Issa special last year. She might not be publicly in favor anymore, but we all know that even if Kate doesn't wear Issa in public, she is totally sipping iced-teas with Carole on the veranda in Bucklebury wearing those gorgeous wrap dresses. I am perhaps even more excited for this collection.
I don't know how many in this company were with me and with William as we swooned over Kate's recycle of the white Roland Mouret evening gown, but it certainly made me a lifelong disciple of the label:
While there are no specific Kate creations in this BR line, I am very excited for several of the dresses that are utilizing longer hemlines.
Victoria Beckham, who attended the Royal Wedding and certainly rubs shoulders with the Duchess here and there, has highlighted these knee-length and below-the-knee hemlines.

Although you all know me to love a little mini, this longer length can add a certain sophistication that is really stunning We have chatted about the difference a lengthened hemline made to the Luisa Spagnoli. I frankly thought the re-working on that dress was sensational.
Carolina Herrera, a creator of goddess worthy apparel, was promoting a stunning LBD and if Kate hadn't already sold me, this would have been the final push:

All this is a convoluted way of saying that I am pretty stoked for the Banana Republic/Roland Mouret collaboration, and you should be too! Don't put off your shopping spree too long, either, I have a sense these will go quickly...
