Finally The Room opened and 3 models - possibly the tallest and skinniest women I have ever seen!- introduced a few fall dresses wearing impossibly high Louboutin stilettos. When I actually managed to get Roland Mouret's attention for a few minutes, do you think I came up with intelligent questions? Of course not! I should have drunk more. Instead, I called him out on the size of his models:
C - I love your designs, but you have to be really skinny to wear them (and I glanced at the glamazon next to me in a fitted fuschia dress)
RM - Not really, our new collection starts from size 6 and goes up to size 20 and more. I love the challenges of working with different sizes. I design for all women.
C - Ah...I take that back then (still trying to envision larger frames wearing the glamazon's dress who is now walking passed me...and trying to think about something clever to say).
C- So, hum...first time in Toronto ? (Darn, that's all you could come up with?) I was surprised you'd even come here (translation: Toronto is cold and not that fun, what's wrong with you?)
RM - I thought it was important to go out there and meet the women who wear my designs, see how they live...
C- Makes sense (Good luck with that: I'm now looking at a guest wearing a weird army jacket at a cocktail party)...
I have to tell you: Roland Mouret is a complete sweetheart and I don't care if Lisamarie teases me for the next 50 years, I had to take a picture with him! A few minutes later, Lisamarie and I decided to move away from the models and... closer to the hors d'oeuvres!
