Roland Mouret’s signature Galaxy dress celebrates its 10-year anniversary this year. Mouret marked this fête by featuring a capsule collection of the iconic dress, designed in a flattering hourglass silhouette and in a variety of colors. The Roland Mouret Spring 2016 ready-to-wear collection was feminine and focused on tailored garments featuring frayed hemlines, neckline cutouts, laser-cut floral motifs, and leaf patterns in a punchy palette of mint green, coral, and tangerine. The designer will open his first standalone boutique in the Middle East this month at the Dubai Mall.
