Stephane Rolland‘s Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024/25 collection is an example of his ability to blend classic elegance with modern innovation. This season, Rolland worked with luxurious fabrics such as wool crepe, velvet, gazar, tulle, and satin, bringing a fresh take on tailoring. The collection features big-shouldered jackets with a masculine touch, doubling as cinched dresses, contrasting beautifully with the flowing transparency of chiffon. “It’s graphic, but soft,” Rolland explained. “There is a lot of softness.”
Rolland’s designs exude sensuality with deep-plunging necklines, bare backs, and diamond belts looped around the skin. A standout piece is a long dress in nude tulle and black chiffon, draped with a black gazar neckline and adorned with a belt embroidered with crystals and sapphires. Another highlight is a bubble jacket made of black-and-white jersey and gazar, paired with a long skirt in black jersey. The final look, a bride’s voluminous white hooded dress embellished with porcelain and white organza petals, left a lasting impression.
The collection includes several pieces that showcase Rolland’s talent for combining structure and fluidity. A cut-out tuxedo jumpsuit in wool crepe and black satin, cinched with a diamond belt, and a long tailored dress in black double wool crepe with a black gazar sculpture and jonquil diamond brooch exemplify this blend. Dinner dresses in black velvet, adorned with diamond belts and brooches, add to the collection’s opulent yet refined aesthetic.
Rolland’s exploration of new materials and textures is evident in pieces like a bubble dress in black gazar and a draped black tulle top, finished with a diamond brooch. A long cut-out dress in black and white jersey, accented with a diamond belt, showcases his ability to create striking silhouettes. Hooded coats in black velvet and satin, paired with long trapeze skirts in black wool crepe embroidered with crystals, highlight his commitment to luxurious craftsmanship.
The collection also features bold accessories and intricate embellishments. Brooches and headpieces in emeralds and diamonds, waist brooches in yellow blown glass, and embroidered belts with crystals and sapphires add a layer of sophistication. The use of materials like onyx, topaz, and porcelain in jewelry and embroidery reflects Rolland’s attention to detail and dedication to creating unique, wearable art.
Stephane Rolland’s Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024/25 collection is a celebration of French elegance and innovative design. By combining traditional tailoring with modern silhouettes and luxurious materials, Rolland delivers a collection that is both timeless and forward-thinking. Each piece offers a perfect blend of structure, fluidity, and opulence.
