PARIS - July 2, 2005 - In a light, airy space on the top floor of the Palais
de Tokyo in the Musée d’Art Moderne sunlight streamed through skylights,
while neon lighting suspended from rafters glowed. As the thermometer passed
90°, the Moritz Rogosky show began. Gone were the visibility problems that
have plagued previous seasons, and in was a cast of professional models that
were, for the most part, well behaved.
Artistically styled, sleek and solid, this was some of the best work yet seen
from Rogosky. The proof was in the details - as in cut away vests worn with
shirt and tie, double cuff trousers, sweaters piped with ribbing, form
fitting tops, and most importantly, long shirt tails that fluttered in the
breeze. Add in a colorful palette, stroked frequently by electric blue, and
you have a show that mirrored the surroundings. Some of the molding swimsuits
might not be every guys’ cup of tea, but overall the collection was
commercially viable.
