After ten years living in Paris, he moved to London and decided to
create a fashion collection. Mouret had no formal training, but he
knew he had the precision to cut, the skill to drape and the courage to
combine the two. Fast forward a decade to the Galaxy dress,
introduced in 2005. Part of why the Galaxy endures is Mouret’s
understanding that different women require different support. „A big
breakthrough for me was when I started to understand bras. The back
of the dress is solid so you can conceal any underwear you want.“
ROLAND
MOURET
While Mouret is famous for dresses
– including countless red carpet
triumphs – he is celebrated among
his clients for separates, specifically
tops that flatter and trousers that as
he put it, „give good bum, why not?“
What he wants is to keep things
modern for women’s complex lives.

In 2010, rights to the ‘Roland
Mouret‘ name were acquired by the
joint venture of Roland Mouret and
Simon Fuller’s XIX Entertainment.
As well as distinguished stockists
around the world, there are two
Roland Mouret maisons, one in
London’s Mayfair, the other on New
York’s Madison Avenue. Recent
expansion includes the perfume
„Une Amourette“.
The key to everything are Mouret’s
craftsman’s hands. „I love the way
fabric feels. I’m known for drape
and structure but I succeed, I think,
when the clothes feel comfortable
to you …and perhaps through the
eyes of someone else, someone
you love“.
