At New York Fashion Week, Rock & Republic’s spring/summer 2009 collection was black and white and super tight. The line is micro and intended only for the bold and those comfortable showing a lot of skin. If anyone with an ounce of excess flub put on the micro skirts or spray on pants, they would rock and roll right out!
Aside from being extremely revealing, the line does showcase some sexy blazers and a very androgynous take on the menswear inspired look, perfect for next spring.
