A bevy of glamorously dressed women flocked to Rockefeller Center and ascended the 65 flights to The Rainbow Room. They came in various little black dresses, beaded chiffon cocktail numbers and pastel-hued pantsuits. Among these women were the actress Vanessa Williams, model Coco Rocha, socialite Nicky Hilton, Tony award winner Anika Noni Rose, and model turned reality television personality Ubah Hassan. They came to witness the spring 2025 collection of the designer Pamella Roland and they all showed up dressed in Pamella Roland, of course.
Fashion designer Pamella Roland is known for dressing women beautifully and elegantly, be it for the boardroom or cocktails, for a strut on the red carpet or a walk down the aisle. For spring 2025, she stayed true to her vision of dressing her woman in the best way she knows how, with chiffon and silk, embroidery and beadwork and all the frills.
Paris in the spring was the starting point of the collection. That magical season when the city comes to life as the trees and flowers bloom. “Our spring 2025 collection captures the essence of the City of Light as it blossoms into a season of renewal, romance, and effortless elegance. Drawing from the beauty of Paris as it awakens in spring, our designs reflect the vibrant energy and timeless charm of the city, interpreted for the Pamella Roland woman,” described the designer.
And so out came the confections in many petal shades and shapes. The opening look was a crystal bedecked cocktail frock in a lavender shade with three dimensional petal-like adornments. As expected, flowers figured prominently in the collection: cascading like vines on a white tulle dresses; as appliques fashioned from feathers on a dress with glittering trellis details; and as a whiff of a print on a couple of strapless numbers.
The colors of flowers informed the hues of the evening gowns that paraded down the runway including a daffodil yellow tulle gown embellished with an embroidery of a song lyric, various shades of lavender and purple evening wear sporting bows and beadwork, and a pistachio shade tulle gown with floral sequined embroidery that called to mind the Christian Dior Junon dress from 1949.
But of course, what is a floral inspired collection without pink. Out came a column dress in shocking fuchsia with an exaggerated bow across the chest, a blush floral jacquard cocktail number with a bubble skirt that resembled an upside down tulip, and a peony pink chiffon goddess down with a split cape.
Pamella Roland pulled out all the stops for the final three looks of her collection: A yellow column gown with a neckline festooned with ostrich feathers featuring a waterfall of beadwork that mimic that crystals hanging on the windows of The Rainbow Room, a blush duchesse satin gown with a gently ruched body and a dramatic hem covered entirely with feathers, and a white column number with pearlized embellishments and a cape dripping with white ostrich feathers.
Paris may have been the inspiration for this spring 2025 collection but women from all over the world will surely be glossing over this collection.
