If I could buy one thing from Net-A-Porter today...

It would be this gorgeous Opéra silk crepe dress by RM by Ronald Mouret. This is what I would call the new and simple power dressing with its constructed pleating and shaped drapes. I would add a bulky studded cuff and a patent shoe-boot to give the look a strong statement. And maybe colored opaque tights when it's chilly outside. Me like. Price tag? Around KD 776.

NOoooOOOOoooooooo!!
RM is so overrated now. It is everywhere and worse even. There is even tons of choice in the SALE!! can you believe it!
They must have totally overestimated themselves, his cuts may be pretty but they so lost the appeal :(

Ronald it known for his fierce cutting, therefore under accessorizing is a must to achieve balance and coordination. Now nobody loves studs 'n' spikes more than this gal but it would overshadow the main object of attention.

Anon, I strongly feel like each individual merits his/ her own thoughts, but RM is making editors go all soft and coey – it isn't everywhere and only those with a specific eye can appreciate his cuts and choices of fabric, am guessing you are dissing bad boy Lee as well.

RM is definitely for those who appreciate but the question is: how much of RM can one appreciate? His individual work is beautiful but I am quite concerned about quantities here. So far anyone who stocks it has had a generous selection. So much so that it made me feel it is not THAT special for that price range. To each their own. However, I do prefer Roland to Lee but prefer Lee's variety...not that I would compare them in the first place.
Oh, and don't editors get goodies?? Old story, old story :)

I think RM dresses are very elegant and sharp, the one on Net-A-Porter is perfect for Fall.
