“It’s been an interesting project of mine for the last two or three years to work with retailers and have them involved in the design process,” Mouret elaborated. “I went over the color and fabric options available with Linda [Fargo (below, with Mouret)]. If anything, they know their customer the best.” This Bergdorf collection is only the latest positive development in Mouret’s re-ascension this fall. He’s ecstatic about reacquiring the right to use his name this past September (having lost it for a time due to trademark issues) and is now working on his first ever flagship, a six-story Mayfair structure that will serve as his maison and offices as well, slated to open in February 2011. “Saying goodbye to my initials is like saying goodbye to a good friend,” he mulled of his interim brand name, RM by Roland Mouret. “It’s served me so well.” That’s not to say that RM might not resurface in the future. “It would have to be something really special,” Mouret said. Perhaps a line for the masses? “I would never do a diffusion line,” he stated. “I don’t think the future is that. People mix brands all the time already, so you need to do something else. We are living in a different fashion world now.”
