Fratelli Rossetti 2011 Illustrated by Rebecca Moses



MsFABulous was invited for an intimate preview of the Fratelli Rosetti's 2011 Autumn/Winter collection, hosted by  the renowned designer and illustrator, Rebecca Moses.   Rebecca told us the theme for her illustrations for the shoe collection was the "old mother goose who lived in a shoe" a classic English nursery tale. Rebecca's illustrated girls are gorgeous, leap tall buildings in boots, play and well, do it all.



Ms. Moses' created her world illustrations by associating a footwear piece with each city.  The fur boot was perfect for the cold mountains of China.  The green shoe was developed in her honor by the brand and represents her home city of New York...



Our sneak peek into the Fall season made us covet everything from soft fur high heel boots to the classic equestrian style riding boots with practical convertible pieces.  You can wear the same pair of boots as short ankle boots and add the calf piece to make it into classic riding boots. I loved this idea especially when shoe closet space is at a premium in tiny New York  apartments.


Fratelli Rossetti shoes are statement pieces that are made in Italy right outside of Milano.  The shoes stay on the shoe lasts ( the 'dressform' for shoes) for up to 4 days and are made from beautifully pebbled calf, suede and box calf leathers. The tanning produces rich, natural colors such as tan and chocolate browns but also, for the season, there are shots of burgundy, hunter green and teal added to the mix both for the girls and for the well groomed man in your life or at least, within your sight.

The men's collection is equally luxe and fabulous. Soft, sumptuous leathers in pebbled grain calfs with washed skins range in shapes from the classic Oxford and Derby to the more rugged Balmoral boot. When I inquired about the craftsmanship of pieces, I found out that  each piece takes many hours to make depending on the style and complexity with sewing the uppers, stitching the linings, and adding welted details to the shoes.  The bottom soles come with classic leather soles to a mix of rubber and leather soles with an array of treatments to give it a flash of color or weathering.  




As a shoe aficionado, I can definitely say these shoes are well made and will stand the test of time with tough New York  City pavements.

So, go on, be that fabulous woman from Rebecca's chic illustrations with beautiful and well edited shoes who can stylishly  travel to Paris, New York, Hong Kong and beyond.

Rebecca Moses - A Life of Style

Designer Rebecca Moses spent the last few years cultivating her brand in Italy as well as North America.  She showed her collection back in NYC for the first time in many years for Spring 2011 during September's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
Last week, she spread her glamor gospel again with the launch of her book, A Life of Style: Fashion, Home, Entertaining.  The party was held at the boutique of Fratelli Rosetti and attracted other icons like Vera Wang and Ted Turner.
The book itself is filled with gorgeous, whimsical fashion illustrations.  The advice is more free form than textbook.  If you are a fan of Rebecca Moses, the tome is overflowing with her style and personality.

NY FASHION WEEK: Rebecca Moses Spring 2011 Fairy Tale

"I Love to tell a story...Fashion is such a colorful tale" -Rebecca Moses
This set the tone for Rebecca Moses return from Europe to show in New York after 20 years.  The Lincoln center box was decked out like a giant walk-in storybook.  Models posed against illustrated backdrops and over-sized library books.  It had a whimsical Alice In Wonderland feel that guests were sucked right into (in a good way).  Very few fashion week presentations manage to transport you out of your environment.  

The clothes were flirty, fun and looked distinctly European.  Polka dots and leopard spots were a prominent theme.  The coquette is a term rarely heard stateside but definitely applied here.  Unlike the whites, creams and tan I saw at countless other shows, Rebecca Moses brought out the citron, peony and mauve.  There were cute coordinated suits, flirty dresses and bubble skirts.

Accessories included whimsical hairpieces, chunky bracelets and novelty necklaces.
